In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance.

More quotes by Wim Wenders
Whoever came up first with that saying a picture is worth a thousand words didn't understand the first thing about either one.
Wim Wenders
Everything is entertainment criticism is now entertainment and it seems that the French directors have woken up one day and suddenly realised that they were not backed up any more.
Wim Wenders
In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years.
Wim Wenders
My advice is, don't spend money on therapy. Spend it in a record store.
Wim Wenders
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
The more opinions you have, the less you see.
Wim Wenders
The last adventure left on this planet is creativity because we've been everywhere. There's not much left to explore. But there's a lot of exploration left in the human imagination.
Wim Wenders
Filmmaking is really connected to life and all of the expressions that different arts found to allow access to life. Filmmaking touches on all of it.
Wim Wenders
It's very hard to find critics or a magazine today that will publish material that is genuinely independent and written without any concern about being cut off some distributor's list or not be invited or flown into screenings.
Wim Wenders
Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it's up to you.
Wim Wenders
An image that is unseen can't sell anything. It is pure, therefore true, beautiful, in one word: innocent. As long as no eye contaminates it, it is in perfect unison with the world. If it is not seen, the image and the object it represents belong together.
Wim Wenders
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
Wim Wenders
Sex and violence was never really my cup of tea I was always more into sax and violins.
Wim Wenders
The beautiful image today means nothing. It's worthshit. In fact, it's almost as if it has the opposite effect, becauseyou're just like everything else out there.
Wim Wenders
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.
Wim Wenders
I heard that Trump said even smelling a book makes him feel tired.
Wim Wenders
Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists.
Wim Wenders
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
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
Wim Wenders
The most important question for me when I begin working on a film is where to start. For a book, what makes you convinced there is a story that is worthwhile?
Wim Wenders
