Podcasts about New German Cinema

This week, we discuss two films from two prominent New German Cinema directors. The first is Until the End of the World (1991), an epic science fiction adventure drama directed by Wim Wenders. Set at the turn of the millennium in the shadow of a world-changing catastrophe, the film follows a man and woman, played by William Hurt and Solveig Dommartin, as they are pursued across the globe, in a plot involving a device that can record visual experiences and visualise dreams. The second is Fitzcarraldo (1982), an epic adventure-drama written, produced and directed by Werner Herzog, and starring Klaus Kinski as would-be rubber baron Brian Sweeney Fitzgerald, an Irishman known in Peru as Fitzcarraldo, who is determined to transport a steamship over the Andes mountains to access a rich rubber territory in the Amazon basin.

Movie of the Year: 1984Paris, TexasWelcome to the Movie of the Year podcast, where we delve into the most impactful and iconic films that have graced the silver screen. In this episode, we turn our attention to "Paris, Texas," a masterful work by the acclaimed director Wim Wenders. Join us as we explore the depths of this 1984 classic, examining its intricate storytelling, poignant characters, and the indelible mark it has left on American cinema.Wim Wenders and the American MovieWim Wenders, a visionary filmmaker known for his profound explorations of human emotion and the human condition, brings a unique European perspective to the American landscape in "Paris, Texas." Wenders' fascination with the vastness and desolation of the American Southwest is evident in every frame of this film. We'll discuss how Wenders' direction transforms the barren landscapes into a character of its own, reflecting the inner emptiness and quest for redemption faced by the protagonist, Travis.In this segment, we dive into Wenders' cinematic techniques, including his use of long takes, natural lighting, and wide-angle shots. We'll also explore how "Paris, Texas" fits into the broader context of Wenders' oeuvre and the New German Cinema movement, which sought to challenge traditional narratives and offer new perspectives on familiar themes.The Introduction of Travis, Paris, Texas' Anti-HeroThe heart of "Paris, Texas" lies in the enigmatic character of Travis Henderson, portrayed by Harry Dean Stanton in a career-defining performance. The film opens with Travis wandering the desert, mute and disheveled, setting the stage for a journey of rediscovery and reconciliation.We'll analyze the powerful introduction of Travis, a man lost both physically and emotionally. This section will cover how the film slowly peels back the layers of Travis' past, revealing his fractured relationships and deep-seated guilt. The subtlety in Stanton's performance, combined with Sam Shepard's poignant screenplay, invites viewers to empathize with Travis' silent anguish and root for his redemption.The Final 20 Minutes of Paris, TexasThe climax of "Paris, Texas" is both heartbreaking and hopeful, encapsulating the film's central themes of love, loss, and redemption. In the final 20 minutes, Travis' journey comes full circle as he reconnects with his estranged wife, Jane, played by Nastassja Kinski.We'll delve into the emotionally charged reunion between Travis and Jane, set in a peep-show booth—a symbolic space of separation and connection. This segment will examine the raw, unfiltered dialogue and the haunting score by Ry Cooder that underscores this pivotal moment. We'll also discuss how this climax offers a resolution that is both bittersweet and deeply satisfying, leaving a lasting impact on the audience. "Paris, Texas" is more than just a film; it's a profound meditation on the complexities of human relationships and the quest for personal redemption. Wim Wenders' masterful direction, coupled with standout performances and a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack, makes this film a timeless piece of American cinema.In this episode of the Movie of the Year podcast, we've explored the many facets of "Paris, Texas," from its cinematic brilliance to its emotional depth. We hope our discussion has deepened your appreciation for this extraordinary film and its enduring legacy.Thank you for joining us, and stay tuned for more deep dives into the movies that have defined our times. Until next time, happy watching!

Anti-Heimat Cinema: The Jewish Invention of the German Landscape (U Michigan Press, 2020) studies an overlooked yet fundamental element of German popular culture in the twentieth century. In tracing Jewish filmmakers' contemplations of "Heimat"-- a provincial German landscape associated with belonging and authenticity -- it analyzes their distinctive contribution to the German identity discourse between 1918 and 1968. The book shows how these filmmakers devised the landscapes of the German "Homeland" as Jews, namely as acculturated "outsiders within." Through appropriation of generic Heimat imagery, the films discussed in the book integrate criticism of national chauvinism into German mainstream culture from the end of World War One to the early decades of the Cold War. Consequently, the Jewish filmmakers discussed in this book anticipated the anti-Heimatfilm of the ensuing decades and functioned as an uncredited inspiration for the critical New German Cinema. Ofer Ashkenazi is an Associate Professor of History and the Director of the Richard Koebner-Minerva Center for German History at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He published monographs and articles on various topics in modern German and German-Jewish history, including Weimar visual culture, the German antiwar movement, and the German memory of Nazism and the Holocaust. His current project considers photographs that were taken by Jews to document their daily life in Nazi Germany. Amir Engel is currently a visiting professor at the faculty of theology at the Humboldt University in Berlin. He is also the chair at the German department at the Hebrew University. Engel studied philosophy, literature, and culture studies at the Hebrew University and completed his PhD. in the German Studies department at Stanford University. He is the author of Grshom Scholem: an Intellectual biography that came out in Chicago in 2017. He also published works on, among others, Jacob Taubes, Hannah Arendt, and Hans Jonas. He is currently working on a book titled "The German Spirit from its Jewish Sources: The History of Jewish-German Occultism". The project proposes a new approach to German intellectual history by highlighting marginalized connections between German Occultism, its Christian sources notwithstanding, and Jewish sources, especially the Jewish mystical tradition.

Werner Herzog, a prolific director who's considered a pioneer of New German Cinema, is coming to Iowa.

Filmmaker Wim Wenders premiered two new films at Cannes this year — Anselm, a 3-D, cutting edge documentary about the contemporary German painter and sculptor Anselm Kiefer, and Perfect Days, a quiet, meditative film about a toilet cleaner in Kyoto who who drives from job to job, listening to music on cassettes — Patti Smith, the Kinks, Lou Reed… Ernst Wilhelm “Wim” Wenders, filmmaker, playwright, author, photographer, is a major figure in New German Cinema and global cinema. His films include Paris, Texas, Wings of Desire, The American Friend, Alice in the Cities, Kings of the Road, Buena Vista Social Club, Pope Francis: A Man of His Word, Pina, Until the End of the World, and many more. In honor of Wim and his extraordinary work, this story, from our Keepers series chronicles the filmmaker's life and inspirations. In our interview with Wim he told us about the impact Henri Langlois and the Cinémathèque Française had on his own filmmaking, about Lotte Eisner, Werner Herzog, and much more. Produced by Vika Aronson and The Kitchen Sisters. Mixed by Jim McKee. Special thanks to Tom Luddy, Robb Moss, Homi Bhabha, Haden Guest, Sophia Hoffinger, Brandi Howell and Nathan Dalton. And most of all, to Wim Wenders who has inspired us across the years.

POP ART, WHERE WE FIND THE POP CULTURE IN ART AND THE ART IN POP CULTURE. ON THE ROAD AGAIN: Join me and my guests, filmmakers Richard and Holly Soriano (My Apocalyptic Thanksgiving) as we talk The Peanut Butter Falcon and Alice of the Cities, two films about an adult stuck with a child while on a road trip. “You are not invited to my birthday party!” Don't you hate when this happens? You're on the road, minding your own business, trying to get someplace and you run into this…kid, this unaccompanied, on their own, no adult supervision…kid. What do you do?…Sounds like it's time for Episode 91 of Pop Art, where we find the pop culture in art and the art in pop culture. It's the podcast where my guest chooses a movie from popular culture, and I'll select a film from the more art/classic/indie side of cinema with a connection to it. For this episode, I am happy to welcome as my guests, filmmakers Holly and Richard Soriano, who have chosen as their film the modern day Huckleberry Finn update, The Peanut Butter Falcon, while I have chosen the German new wave Alice in the Cities, both films about adults suddenly finding themselves on a road trip with a child or someone childlike. And in this episode we answer such questions as: What director is also almost as well known for being a hand model? German New Wave or The New German Cinema? Has the portrayal of people disabilities changed in film? Could Alice in the Cities be done today? How far back to road stories date? Genre meets Diversity? How does F. Scott Fitzgerald fit in? What's wrong with the geography in Peant Butter…? Where are Wim Wenders and Peter Haneke in the film? And don't forget to check out Richard and Holly's film My Apocalyptic Thanksgiving, not seen on multiple streaming platforms including Amazon.

We are really excited to focus an episode around the BFI Blu-ray release of Chris Petit's existential British road movie Radio On as it's a film that we had talked about for a long time. Alongside this, it gave us the perfect excuse to bring on one of our original supporters and true friend of the show, Mark Jenkin. Mark kindly took the time out from editing his new feature Enys Men, to explore why Radio On is one of his most influential films. Indeed, there is no one better to talk about the handmade sensibility of the film along with the combination of its unique aesthetics of place and time and its abstracted subjectivity of characters alienated from their social reality.  We also discuss the film's almost singular place in British film history and examine how this is related to its European art-house sensibility, particularly in terms of the links to Wim Wenders and New German Cinema. We also discuss the way the film is structured musically, with signature Bowie tracks along with the electronic futurism of Kraftwerk and even Sting popping up to give an Eddie Cochrane tribute. There is also the question of how the film is one of the more idiosyncratic road movies, one without a specific motivation or destination, and an ending that is sublimely ambiguous and maybe even strangely uplifting.

Bart and Jenna dive into the early works of New German Cinema, a movement that walks the line between the personal and the political in order to navigate feelings of guilt and anger.

Werner Herzog’s BAD LIEUTENANT: PORT OF CALL NEW ORLEANS, or BL:POCNO as we like to call it (no one calls it that), is a very weird movie. It is also a pretty good movie. A good-weird film that somehow Dave missed despite his film school education and fondness for New German Cinema directors. There is plenty for us to unpack here from the highs and lows of Nicolas Cage’s varied career to Herzog’s unique talent for portraying the darkness and folly of the human condition with a relatively light touch. All that, plus iguana cam (patent pending). Links: Of Walking in Ice (1978) by Werner Herzog. Werner Herzog: A Guide for the Perplexed (2014) by Paul Cronin.

Stroszek is quite an absurd film. Its dark theme revolves around the inescapability of humanity in the face of our existence, filled with suffering, but its delivery is light and heartwarming. Despite all the bad that Bruno goes through, one can't help but laugh at it all. Herzog employs many techniques characteristic to the New German Cinema movement, letting his shots linger and giving the film room to breath within itself. A few scenes stand out amongst the rest, namely the premature ward, bank robbery, and ending, either aesthetically in the former's case and thematically in the latters'. Unfortunately, apart from those scenes, not much can be said about the film, at least on itself. But amongst Herzog's vast catalogue, we can see that the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts.

Alan gives the Treatment to the newest, and one of the more inclusive and absorbing works of Wenders, the once-towering figure of the New German Cinema of the 70's, which included such monumental works as Buena Vista Social Club, Wings of Desire, The End of Violence, and Paris, Texas.

Director, performer or author? UNSW Honours student Zach Karpinellison interrogates these three roles occupied by German filmmaker Rainer Werner Fassbinder. These roles, Zach argues, allow Fassbinder to exert greater control over the moral and political reception of his work. He also explores the filmmaker's important cultural value as both an auteur and a key figure in New German Cinema. Dr Michelle Langford joins Zach for a Q&A after his talk.
