Wim Wenders – King of the Road: The India Tour. Alice In The Cities (1974/ West Germany/ German with English subs/ 112 mins) Dir. Wim Wenders. The German journalist Phillip Winter wants to write a story about America, but is unable to accomplish anything but a series of Polaroids before disappointedly beginning his journey back home. At the same time, he reluctantly agrees to take little Alice (Yella Rottländer) with him, because her mother (Lisa Kreuzer) — whom he meets in New York on the day before his departure—has urgent business to take care of there. Technically Alice in the Cities is Wenders’ fourth film, but he himself often refers to it as “his first” because it was during this film that he discovered the genre of the road movie. Restored Version. Collab. Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi, Film Heritage Foundation & Wim Wenders Stiftung. Check the website for registration.
