Much of Wenders' sprawling saga is absurd, and some of it pretentious, yet set in 199, this film, like all of his previous work, raises interesting questions about the role of modern technology and its impact on identity and interpersonal communication.

Thought-provoking romp by German film director Wim Wenders, a global hopping cinematic philisopher.

Contains a few spectacular moments, but feels misguided overall.

Long, slow, and pretentious

A bit lumpy (with so much left on the cutting room floor, that was probably inescapable), but it's the kind of glorious lumpiness that only comes from a great filmmaker.

The material looks tailor-made for a whimsical fantasy but Wenders has a curiously practical approach
