Wim Wenders Quotes

Cinema is a worldwide phenomenon Picture Quote #1

I remember that even my first impression of Italian cinema was pictures by paparazzi because my mom was reading all of these trash magazines with paparazzo pictures Picture Quote #1

In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years Picture Quote #1

But I think that the spirit of protectionism would be the grave of European cinema. You cannot protect something by building a fence around it and thinking that this will help it survive Picture Quote #1

Butte was once a grand city. To me, that city is like one big stage for Edward Hopper. You could put your camera anywhere, and you felt you were looking at his paintings Picture Quote #1

I’ve never been anywhere in my life like it and I only really noticed it when I returned to Los Angeles and then Berlin. Everybody is much better off in these places, there is not poverty like in Cuba, but everybody complains about things Picture Quote #1

Ibrahim tells his story without a grain of complaint, and this was true for all of the band members. This is very much part of the Cuban spirit and soul Picture Quote #1

If you travel a lot, if you like roaming about in order to lose yourself, you can end up in the strangest places. I think it must be a kind of built-in radar, which often takes me to places that are either peculiarly quiet or peculiar in a quiet sort of way Picture Quote #1

In fact, it is amazing how much European films - Italian, French, German and English - have recovered a certain territory of the audience in their countries over the last few years Picture Quote #1

Pina Bausch’s motto was Dance, otherwise we are lost. She really meant it, that dance was her answer to life and to the troubles and to the problems that can arise. That was her way to deal with everything, to dance Picture Quote #1

In this age of consumerism film criticism all over the world - in America first but also in Europe - has become something that caters for the movie industry instead of being a counterbalance Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard to find critics or a magazine today that will publish material that is genuinely independent and written without any concern about being cut off some distributor’s list or not be invited or flown into screenings Picture Quote #1

An image that is unseen can’t sell anything. It is pure, therefore true, beautiful, in one word: innocent. As long as no eye contaminates it, it is in perfect unison with the world. If it is not seen, the image and the object it represents belong together Picture Quote #1

Filmmaking is really connected to life and all of the expressions that different arts found to allow access to life. Filmmaking touches on all of it Picture Quote #1

Take opera for example - to go to the opera you have to dress up in a tuxedo and pay lots of money Picture Quote #1

Don’t worry about getting final cut, worry about making the best possible cut Picture Quote #1

Without dreams, there can be no courage. And without courage, there can be no action Picture Quote #1

Any movie that has that spirit and says things can be changed is worth making Picture Quote #1

Before you say cut, wait 5 seconds Picture Quote #1

I think seeing happens partly through the eyes, but not entirely Picture Quote #1

Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes very harshly. This no longer exists Picture Quote #1

The more opinions you have, the less you see Picture Quote #1

For us music is mainly part of the entertainment world and is often a luxury Picture Quote #1

On the contrary a film can promote the idea of change without any political message whatsoever but in its form and language can tell people that they can change their lives and contribute to progressive changes in the world Picture Quote #1

Advertisements

The culture of independent film criticism has totally gone down the drain and this seems to come with the territory of the consumer age that we are now living in Picture Quote #1

Any film that supports the idea that things can be changed is a great film in my eyes Picture Quote #1

Entertainment today constantly emphasises the message that things are wonderful the way they are. But there is another kind of cinema, which says that change is possible and necessary and it’s up to you Picture Quote #1

Film is a very, very powerful medium. It can either confirm the idea that things are wonderful the way they are, or it can reinforce the conception that things can be changed Picture Quote #1

It’s very hard to find critics or a magazine today that will publish material that is genuinely independent and written without any concern about being cut off some distributor’s list or not be invited or flown into screenings Picture Quote #1

Many of the critics today get airline tickets, hotel accommodation, bags, beautiful photographs, gifts and other expenses paid by the distributors, and then are supposed to write serious articles about the movie Picture Quote #1
