6/10
Wim Wenders is lost in Hollywood...
5 January 2002
I honestly saw no point whatsoever to this film. Unlike the vast majority of Wim Wenders' movies, this movie had no warmth in it either in the story or method of creation. I didn't identify with any of the characters, nor did I so much as like any of them. I also have to wonder why talented actors such as Udo Keir, and indeed great directors like Wenders wasted their time IN Hollywood, WITH Hollywood 'dime-a-dozen' trash actors like Andie MacDowell and Bill Pullman, when their work in the past has been featured with such fantastical eloquence and inspiring style. After being spoiled shamelessly over and over by "Der Himmel Uber Berlin" and "Paris, Texas", this film is an utterly complete disappointment. 6/10 only for Wenders and Keir! Nothing else deserves anything but a puzzled look of mild pity.
