1007 - Until The End of the World (1991)


Listen Later

It's a miracle I even made it out of Longwood alive.  This town full of men with big mouths and no guts.  I mean if you can just picture it: Wim Wenders made a nearly 5 hour long, globetrotting movie in 1991 predicting the technology, geopolitical concerns, and digital addictions of the 21st century with remarkable foresight.  Solveig Dommartin heads up a luminous cast, redressed in 90s future noir, that makes use of gorgeous settings and beautiful photography to explore a magnetic woman's nihilistic race to find meaning and purpose in a forever-changing world.

If you'd like to watch ahead for next week's film, we will be discussing and reviewing Lo Wei's The Big Boss (1971).
