Opis:
Kobieta staje się ofiarą przypadkowego wypadku samochodowego, w którym jej samochód zostaje uderzony przez wóz, którym jechali bankowi rabusie. Przestępcy porywają kobietę i zmuszają ją, żeby pomogła im przemycić skradzione pieniądze do Paryża. Po drodze spotykają tajemniczego Amerykanina, który ścigany jest przez CIA. Wspólnie z kobietą ucieka on od rabusiów. Wydarzenia te mają miejsce przed tragiczną katastrofą, w wyniku, której została najprawdopodobniej zniszczona cała cywilizacja ziemska.
Shot on location in numerous countries, this ambitious Wim Wenders fantasy takes Sam Neill, Solveig Dommartin, William Hurt and a ragtag group in pursuit around the world and back again. Though set in 1999 under the shadow of impending disaster as a wobbly nuclear satellite threatens to Chernobyl the planet, the leisurely gait of their worldwide escapades has a distinctly 1940s-era decadence. The ultimate object of their quest is a machine that records visual information from one person and reconstructs it in the brains of others--granting the miraculous power of sight to the blind for one thing, but even more mystically, enabling a person's dreams to be recorded. When the film seeks resolutions on the most intimate questions of the human soul which dovetail with the possibility of a destroyed world, the film is hampered by the VHS running time, which subtracts several hours from other versions. But numerous joys, not least among them Jeanne Moreau and Max von Sydow as Hurt's parents, inhabit this thought-provoking film. Set in 1999, a woman (Dommartin) has a car accident with some bank robbers, who befriend and enlist her help to take the money to a drop in Paris. On the way she runs into another fugitive from the law (Hurt), an American who is being chased by the CIA. The charges are false, he says, that they want to confiscate a device his father has invented which allows you to record your dreams and vision. On the run from the bank robbers and the CIA, they span the globe, ending up in Australia at the research facility of his father (von Sydow), where they hope to be able to play back the recordings Hurt has made to his blind mother. Released in 1991 it was famous for its excellent soundtrack- Nick Cave, 'Zoo-TV'-era U2 (their 'good' period), Depeche Mode, REM, Can, Patti Smith, Elvis Costello, Julee Cruise (produced by David Lynch & Angelo Badalamenti). Though the stand-outs are 'Calling All Angels' (Jane Sibbery & KD Lang) and 'The Adversary' by Crime & The City Solution (one of the bands playing in Berlin in 'Wings of Desire'). The visuals match the music. It's the one of the finest examples of image used against music.
