 On The Road - Wim Wenders Showcase

Join us on a journey through the mind of Wim Wenders, the multi-faceted artist and longtime festival darling, New German Cinema OG, and all-around master of the road movie genre, as we bring back some of his classics to celebrate the release of his newly acclaimed feature, Perfect Days.

Like many of his protagonists, Wim Wenders himself is traveller whose complex work—whether feature film or documentary—speaks to us of searching and seeing.  We'll traverse desolate landscapes in the hopelessly romantic neo-western Paris, Texas, road trip across Europe and America with childlike wonder in the charming Alice in the Cities, and soar above Berlin with trenchcoat-clad angels who yearn for human connection in the timeless classic Wings of Desire. The showcase also gives us a taste of thrill in The American Friend, a moody neo-noir based on Patricia Highsmith’s novel "Ripley's Game". And finally, the feature film Perfect Days, his latest award-sweeping marvel and beautiful offering to life, told through the eyes of Hirayama, a toilet cleaner in Tokyo.

Joyride through the timeless works of one of Europe’s most prolific and pertinent auteurs, with a cast of dreamers and drifters in search, as they meander through the highs, lows, and utter mundanity of their own winding roads.

Co-presented by the Goethe-Institut Singapore and The Projector. With support of the German Embassy in Singapore.

Long presumed dead, a man turns up in the desert and is found by his brother, who it turns out, is raising his abandoned son. Together, they travel as virtual strangers to find mother and ex-wife Jane, through a profound journey of longing, hope, and discovery.

Wings of Desire © 1987 Road Movies – Argos Films

Wings of Desire

The sky over war-scarred Berlin is full of trenchcoat-clad angels, who listen to the tortured thoughts of mortals living down below. One angel, Damiel falls in love with Marion, a beautiful trapeze artist, and longs to become mortal himself.

Der Amerikanische Freund

Der Rahmenmacher Jonathan glaubt, an Leukämie zu sterben. Der skrupellose amerikanische Kunsthändler Tom Ripley taucht auf und entscheidet sich, von seiner Krankheit zu profitieren. Er stellt Jonathan einem Gangster vor, der anbietet, den unheilbar kranken Mann als professionellen Auftragsmörder einzustellen.

Alice in den Städten

Der deutsche Journalist Philip Winter leidet an Schreibblockade, als er versucht, einen Artikel über die Vereinigten Staaten zu schreiben. Er beschließt, nach Deutschland zurückzukehren, und am Flughafen trifft er Lisa und ihre neunjährige Tochter Alice.

Perfect Days

Hirayama scheint mit seinem einfachen Leben als Toilettenreiniger in Tokio vollkommen zufrieden zu sein. Neben seiner sehr strukturierten täglichen Routine genießt er seine Leidenschaft für Musik und Bücher. Er liebt auch Bäume und fotografiert sie gerne. Eine Reihe unerwarteter Begegnungen offenbart nach und nach mehr von seiner Vergangenheit.
