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. Wim Wenders

In the late 1980s the amount of German films was down to four or five percent of the market, and the remaining 95 percent were American. It is now 20 to 30 percent German productions. Wim Wenders
Neither Rainer Werner, nor any of us could have succeeded, or produced the number of films that we did, just on our own. We showed our films to each other, discussed them vigorously and rarely agreed. Wim Wenders
Wim Wenders quote: "What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in..."
What is generally referred to as American-style films are, in fact, studio productions. Wim Wenders
Wim Wenders quote: "Filmmakers and critics wrote about each other and sometimes..."
