I think it's a special movie. Deep, poetic and original. I don't think it's a film that easily looks away, and it doesn't have to be, but I did find it difficult to stay focused with this film. Also because it contains a lot of text that is not simple in nature. Not a movie to quickly watch in between. Furthermore, very atmospheric and the combination of black/white and color, I think is nicely done. Convincing game. A 7. 3.5*

You can trust director Wim Wenders with pretentious poetic posturing. Most of his movies are full of it. So is this one. Visually it all looks beautiful; the black and white images of Berlin are often breathtakingly beautiful, but the content... I couldn't do much with them anyway.
