„ALICE IN DEN STÄDTEN | Trailer / Deutsch | Wim Wenders | ARTHAUS“ direkt öffnen (DE), R: Wim Wenders, D: Rüdiger Vogler, Yella Rottländer, [Wikipedia]
To me, ALICE IN THE CITIES seems to be about the artificial world a lense creates. And a lense can be a lot of things – a TV screen, camera, windshield, windows, binoculars, mirrors, even loudspeakers. Everything is distorting reality. But I do not think, Wenders tries to criticize media per se. The criticism is aimed at living life through a series of filters which leads to loss of reality and oneself. Which in turn is paradoxical, because ALICE IN THE CITIES was created through a lense and meant to be consumed through a lense. But in the end, and that is also reflected in the movie, a lense is also a way to flee into said distorted reality.
With this movie, Wenders seems to lay the groundwork for masterpieces like PARIS, TEXAS and WINGS OF DESIRE in telling a simple, yet profound story, which stays with you for a long time because it’s timeless.
