French section updated !. Click to visit.
12 Nov. 2003 : NO NEWS...GOOD NEWS...
Why the new site is delayed so much ?
Well, quite simply because I was satisfied with the new site design but
not with the interactivity. A forum was not enough, I wanted a site with
more dynamic contents, like a webzine, where the Net surfer can react
everywhere. I learned PHP and I chose a free software SPIP to manage the
articles and the comments. The other explanation is that I have not
enough time and energy. But I am motivated more than ever so that this
project goes to the end.
While waiting :
- I added 6 new comments from fans in the section "thoughts"
- to see a little thing from the version 3.0 of the site penetrate in
Keyhole Club and enter a "booth".
This section re-creates the environment of the peep-show scenes at the
end of the film. The routine written in Javascipt was tested under
Explorer but still includes some bugs not fixed under Netscape...

Leading parts for "In America"
Wim Wenders announced the male leading part of his next film "In
America" in association with Sam Shepard. It will be Mark Everett aka E,
the leader of the band rock "Eels" of which Wim Wenders shooted their
last clip. Bob Dylan should be in the film too. Wim Wenders loves music
! And for the main actress maybe Robin Wright Penn ("Unbreakable").

A sense of place : Wim Wenders at Princeton University, USA
During a talk at Princeton University with for subject "A sense of
place", Wim Wenders explained to the students his way to make films,
from a place and its characters tell a story and not the opposite as the
American cinema does. According to him, a story who is not rooted in
specific places will produce bad films, without reality, without
identity. Films produced for the entire world for which the story and
the action prevail and the specificity of places and persons have been
removed. Films with exchangeable images who breed a global culture, a
sign of our loss of identity and soon of our imagination. On the
contrary, Wim Wenders explains that all his films were inspired by
places. For Paris, Texas it's the fascination of the mythical deserts of
the American West. The Wim Wenders' logic for Paris, Texas was to shoot
the film chronologically and that Sam Shepard goes with him on the
shooting and writes the screenplay as they discovered places and actors.
In reality, Sam Shepard was not able to be present but Wim Wenders
described the places by phone and he wrote from these details.
That way Wim Wenders' logic was respected !

Wenders returned in Paris, Texas in search of additional takes and

Wenders Official Site)
A site user who bought the japanese DVD of Paris, Texas indicated me
that the quality is good but not perfect. The problem is that the film
has japanese subtitles which can't be removed. A little bit annoying,
but according to him it is worth to have it onto DVD...
