The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in.
Wim Wenders

Without dreams, there can be no courage. And without courage, there can be no action.

Whoever came up first with that saying a picture is worth a thousand words didn't understand the first thing about either one.

I sometimes feel fiction is the ideal preservation for real memories. Fiction is such a good place to keep things.
Wim Wenders

Maybe it's the music that enables them to function like that, to always take everything as it comes and never complain about the misery, hardship or injustice.

The Yanks have colonized our subconscious.
Wim Wenders

Photographs put time into such a perspective. They humble us and our selfish memories.
Wim Wenders
Image
I think sometimes you have to just imagine something that looks pretty impossible. By imagining something that is impossible, automatically you wish you could make it possible.

Of course the French are making very credible movies and it is still one of the greatest nations in terms of world cinema but the real problem is the decay in film criticism.
Wim Wenders
Image
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.

The world of fashion. I'm interested in the world, not in fashion! But, maybe I was too quick to put down fashion. Why not look at it without prejudice? Why not examine it like any other industry, like the movies for example?
Wim Wenders
Image
Many French directors, having now realised there was no more real criticism, that the standards of the past have gone, are very offended about the quality of film criticism.

The most political decision you make is where you direct people's eyes. In other words, what you show people, day in and day out, is political...And the most politically indoctrinating thing you can do to a human being is to show him, every day, that there can be no change.
