This film brings me to mind the music of Sade. Sad-sounding songs telling about beautiful films. This film is the opposite. Extremely beautiful film about sad things. A film about how America changed, not only after the 9/11 but more on how America changed since Wim Wenders first went to US. It seems as if Wim was trying to recall himself why he went to America and, more important, why he left there, in the country we people in Europe probably do not understand. I think Lana (Michelle Williams, who whose role automatically brings to my mind Amelie Poulain) is, in my opinion, actually Wim Wenders and Paul (Lana's uncle) is a metaphor of today's America. A country that Wim loves (and this love is based on historical picture) but that he can neither understand nor agree with. And when Lana says to Paul: '...but I still love you as you are', I know this is probably the most important, most touching and most true film related to sept 9/11.
That is why I give it a 10/10.
see you around <maciej>
