Review of Alice in the Cities (1974) by Tor M — 24 May 2014
I have seen two or three Wenders films earlier and they are all top notch. This is a story about a German guy that is in America to write a book of some sort.
The problem is - he is just taking pictures with a polaroid camera.
He needs to return to Germany and that's when he meet Alice.
The story turns into an natural adventure and it's beautifully shot.
A bit sad, but at the same time uplifting. Cosy and easy, quite playful. It also feel very personal.
Cool that the tram-like things here are the same as the ones in his later film "Pina", at least I'm pretty sure of it.
8 out of 10 elephants in red Volkswagens.
