More quotes by 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
Photographs put time into such a perspective. They humble us and our selfish memories.
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
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
What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in fact, studio productions.
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
For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury.
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
Sex and violence was never really my cup of tea I was always more into sax and violins.
Wim Wenders
Filmmakers tell actors to adjust their body language, and the famous presence of the actor is his or her body language. That is what makes them special and a movie star. An actor's capital is his body.
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
Ibrahim tells his story without a grain of complaint, and this was true for all of the band members. This is very much part of the Cuban spirit and soul.
Wim Wenders
Before you say cut, wait 5 seconds
Wim Wenders
I can't do a million things anymore like I could when I was younger.
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
I think seeing happens partly through the eyes, but not entirely.
Wim Wenders
Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed.
Wim Wenders
If anything, I see myself as a witness. I'd also be pleased, if you'd call me an interpreter. I try to hear and see the message of a place and pass it on, into that other language, the universal one of images.
Wim Wenders
I remember that even my first impression of Italian cinema was pictures by paparazzi because my mom was reading all of these trash magazines with paparazzo pictures.
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
