Audience Reviews for Until the End of the World

Dec 09, 2009

German film director Wim Wenders was always a heavy-duty rock n' roll fan and saw to it that his films included music that reflected this love. Rock musicians, even notably ornery ones like Lou Reed, acquiesced to Wenders' request. Probably because when you speak in German, you sound particularly threatening.

Normally I prefer a 'director's cut' of a film but this time I'll take the edited down version gladly. Four and a half hours is just too damn long for a road trip drama even if some of the ideas in it are akin to great films like Brainstorm. So 4 stars for the two and a half hour version and barely 3 for the 'test of endurance' version.
