Comment on the movie "Der amerikanische Freund (1977)" (The American Friend)

Rating 5 out of 5

Cast: Dennis Hopper, Bruno Hanz.

I'm delighted, a Wim Wenders film is always a good treat, this time it is multiplied by a deadly combination of Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper by whom any film contributes a lot. From its pretty simple plot derives a complex thriller that edges with noir and even existential drama, which acquires new heights by outstanding performances all around. The soundtrack thinly underlines the movie's subtle weirdness, which it is hard to pinpoint in what exactly it manifests itself.

Verdict: can't be missed if you are a true cinema lover.
