The American Friend 13 April 10

Section: article

Categories: Film / dvd-mine

Hard to believe that it’s been almost exactly five years since I last watched this film, two times in fact, after I bought the DVD. Of course I had also seen it a number of times before, going back to when it first came out.

This time I could relate more deeply to the psychology of the characters, in the sense that I see art differently through my own growth. I imagine that Wenders also sees this film somewhat differently over time.

My thoughts on the film here in acoolsha still hold up, though, again, it resonates on an emotional level like never before.
