Kings of the Road

Synopsis

A traveling film projector repairman living in an old moving van along the desolate border between West and East Germany gives a ride to a depressed man who just drove his car into a river after a marital breakup, driving from one dying rural cinema to another over three contemplative hours. Wim Wenders and Robby Müller's Cannes FIPRESCI Prize-winning road movie masterpiece on male friendship, cinema, and the colonization of post-war German subconscious by American pop culture.
