My brother and I, both great admirers of Wenders' "Perfect Days" and "Paris, Texas", were recently talking about how much we wanted to watch "Until the End of the World". This article inspired me to make the time and watch it this morning/afternoon and I was completely bowled over. I don't remember the last time I reacted so strongly to a movie, and I'm trying to see if I can resist the urge to watch it again tonight or tomorrow, time permitting. Thanks, Sam.

Ecce Sam Jennings! Here is a writer who first knocks me over with Sunday In The Park With George, then follows with love of the holy Wendere. I ritually watch Wings Of Deisire and its companion Faraway, So Close

at least once a year. The relish with which the angels taste and see of the agonizing real world of humans...
