More quotes by 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
For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury.
Wim Wenders
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.
Wim Wenders
Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon.
Wim Wenders
To evoke the classic period of Italian cinema in a little film seemed like a great, fun thing to do. I had relations to that period. I had known Fellini and I had known Antonioni. I had made a movie with Antonioni and I had visited Fellini in his studios. So, it seemed like something worthwhile doing. You bring yourself to that mythical cinema.
Wim Wenders
For years all I seemed to be doing was lobbying politicians and others to persuade them that European culture needed movies, and that we had to protect it.
Wim Wenders
My advice is, don't spend money on therapy. Spend it in a record store.
Wim Wenders
In books they don't have deleted scenes, like with DVDs. You could have your deleted scene in a book as well!
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
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
Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists.
Wim Wenders
Every photo, every 'ONCE' in time is also the beginning of a story starting 'once upon a time...' Every photo is the first frame of a movie.
Wim Wenders
Movies are something people see all over the world because there is a certain need for it.
Wim Wenders
I'm getting a little bored by the juxtaposition of American and other cinema. I no longer think this division is as true as it might have been in the 1980s, or the early part of the 90s.
Wim Wenders
Don't worry about getting final cut, worry about making the best possible cut.
Wim Wenders
So I am getting a little bored with defining one type of film as American and the other European or from somewhere else because the division is no longer true.
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.
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
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.
Wim Wenders
On the contrary a film can promote the idea of change without any political message whatsoever but in its form and language can tell people that they can change their lives and contribute to progressive changes in the world.
