Wim Wenders is really crazy and made an 8-hour movie. I found the premise of this film to be really great, and I do like "road movies," but nothing ever really comes together into a cohesive picture. There are strands of great ideas poking out here, but I can't recommend it based on those.

Lovely, fanciful film. Wenders discusses love, reality, and life as we know it, compellingly. The film also boasts a remarkable score featuring original compositions by such artists as Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, and U2.

Watch the director's cut. It's a whole different movie.

I saw the director's cut. Has some magical moments, but fails to involve me on any level. The beginning, with Dommartin sitting in her car with a longing look on her face, listening to melancholic pop music of some sort, that had some promise to it. But eventually it just gets more and more unfocused and weird. Too bad.

Love Dommartin, hate Hurt.

I'm rather ambivalent about this one; it's both impressive in scope and hard to feel emotionally invested in. I really appreciated the 'futuristic' world building and ballsy decision to make a 4.5 hour road/world-trip movie that never plays to the audience. In hindsight, I appreciated the first half of the movie a bit more, though it is rather repetitive. Great soundtrack and some wonderful individual shots, but it never quite gels together into something wonderful or profound.

Peculiar, but oddly unfamiliar, like being in a different culture. Even though this film seems to make perfect sense, I still found it confusing and felt myself being lost in it's kaleidoscopic mess of the natural, the unnatural and the beauty of both. Cracking soundtrack, too. (158 min. version)

Boring movie that also fails to make a lot of sense

Visually striking. Immensely dull.

extraordinary, one of my favorite movies ever; also a fantastic soundtrack
