Film description

Another road movie by the German master. The main character is a popular photographer, who leads a hedonist life in a big city. He has everything he wants, but apparently misses something and he is emotionally burnt-out. When he miraculously avoids a serious accident, he decides to change everything and, inspired by the name of a passing barge, he leaves for Palermo of title. There, he confronts death once again and meets an extraordinary woman.

Summarising films by Wenders, including Palermo Shooting, is pointless - the important things are set outside the plot: in dialogues, often touching on the most important issues, as in Kieślowski's works; in carefully selected music (e.g. Nick Cave, Beirut, Tom Waits, Portishead) which is a commentary to the plot and sets atmosphere;in impressive cinematography; and finally in the atmosphere of lazy wandering through a chaotic city, searching for views to be photographed, enjoying each moment. Palermo Shooting reminds one of Lisbon Story, being a sort of variation on issues dealt with in that film. But here there are eschatological motifs, which had never been present in so literal a form in Wenders's films before, including the unusual scene of conversation with... Death.
