Radmila Djurica

One of the very best of festival is „Palermo Shooting“ by Wim Wenders, showed on Cannes Film Festival but in uncut version. This time this is a brilliant piece of work that portraits travel and remainds best on „Until The End of The World“. This time Wenders again engages a briliant musicians to help him cover and emphasis the story, just like in „Until The End of The World“. Wanders here presents incredibly varied and well chosen music to introduces the very 'of the moment' use of the bipod to deliver songs that links us with the central character. This concept is a clever a subtle social comment, at which Winder’s has always been good. It says an awful lot about contemporary fast living and modern man at the cutting edge of successful life. The entire film is full of subtle, poignant and cohesive moments of straight story blended to great effect with the surreal. He goes a step forward, original enough and comic and make his character of death played to perfection by Dennis Hopper, who is almost everywhere, on the edges of reality. Through the powerful and beautifully composed shots and music that follow Finn (the main character) as he comes to grip with Palermo to follow his own ghosts. Maybe this is his autobiography after all. The main character a good looking man, deliberately desirable rotate his camera from the 360 degree, from the beautiful classic car through Palermo's old streets, which makes the film ultra modern, and breathtaking. Here Wenders is in top form in the composition of his scenes and extra position of cultures and ideas. And points out at the sheer metaphor of life, relating the situations which seem surreal and that go beyond 'coincidence'. This is a fabulous and original use of music with breathtaking cinematography which takes us on a remarkable 'voyage'.
