A delightful film, and something of a return to form for Wenders. If by form, you mean shallow sentimentality mixed with “me silent because me deep feeling” protagonists. I’ve really fallen out of love with this dude in recent years. And boy did I used to fawn over him. At his best, he’s playing ringleader for other geniuses, especially writers, actors, musicians, and cinematographers. At his worst, he’s telling boring, immature stories that are simply quirked up with a little swag.
Nevertheless, a delightful film.
