We are happy to collaborate with the Bangalore Film Society and the National Gallery of Modern Art to bring two seminal Wim Wenders' films to Bangalore. The recently deceased Danish cinematographer Robby Müller had a major impact on the film world and is best known for his cooperation with Wim Wenders. In his honour Robby Müller - Master of Light, a film series with two impressive masterpieces of their cinematic collaboration will be presented - Paris, Texas and Alice in the Cities.

Alice in den Städten (Alice in the Cities)
Phillip is a roving German reporter who, after a chance encounter with an elusive American woman, reluctantly accepts temporary custody of little Alice. Their friendship grows while travelling through various European cities on a search for the girl’s grandmother. Inventive and witty, Wenders reflects on the influences of American pop culture on postwar Europe. Accepted to be one of Wenders’ most poignant films, Alice in the Cities subsequently won the 1974 German Critics Prize.

Paris, Texas
This unusual road movie tells the tale of Travis, a man lost in his own private hell. Presumed dead for four years, he reappears from the desert on the Mexico border, world weary and an amnesiac. Paris, Texas is probably Wim Wenders’ best known movie, winning a number of international prizes including The Cannes Palme D’Or for Best Film in 1984.
