Une perle rare de narration cinématographique qui mêle docudrame, reconstitution fictionnelle et photographie expérimentale dans une œuvre puissante et réfléchie sur les débuts du cinéma allemand. Le film raconte l'histoire des frères Skladanowsky, le duo d'origine allemande à l'origine de l'invention du "bioskop", une première version du projecteur de films.

Le réalisateur "Nicholas Ray" est impatient de terminer un dernier film avant sa mort imminente d'un cancer. Wim Wenders travaille sur son propre film Hammett (1983) à Hollywood, mais s'envole pour New York pour aider Ray à réaliser son dernier souhait. L'intention initiale de Ray est de faire un film de fiction sur un peintre mourant qui navigue vers la Chine pour trouver un remède à sa maladie. Lui et Wenders discutent de cette idée, mais c'est évidemment irréaliste compte tenu de l'état de santé de Ray.

The film is about a projection-equipment repair mechanic named Bruno Winter (Rüdiger Vogler) and a depressed hitchhiker Robert Lander (Hanns Zischler) who has just been through a break-up with his wife and a half-hearted suicide attempt. They travel along the Western side of the East-German border in a repair truck, visiting worn-out movie theaters. The movie contains many long shots without dialogue, including an outdoor defecation scene, and it was filmed in black and white by long-time Wenders collaborator Robby Müller.

After Lisa leaves Alice temporarily in Phil's care, it quickly becomes apparent that he will have to look after her for longer than he expected. Phil finds himself stuck with Alice, searching various cities of Germany for her grandmother, whose name and address Alice cannot remember. The only clue they have is a photograph of her grandmother's front door with no house number and no one in the shot.

Le film, plus qu’une biographie ou un documentaire, est un voyage initiatique dans l’univers du Pape François. Fait assez exceptionnel, le film est co-réalisé par le Vatican et s’articule autour des idées et du message du Pape, afin de présenter son travail, aussi bien que les réformes et les réponses qu’il propose face à des questions aussi universelles que la mort, la justice sociale, l’immigration, l’écologie, l’inégalité de revenus, le matérialisme ou le rôle de la famille.
