No Decurso do Tempo estreava há 45 anos no Festival de New York. É um belo filme sobre a morte do cinema, coisa que se discute há meio século e ele continua aí firme e forte, mas uma frase que segundo a Lisa Kreuzer foi escrita pelo notório misógino Peter Handke quase estraga a experiência toda do filme: "me sinto sozinho dentro de uma mulher", dito por um personagem que só ama homens, só respeita homens, só ouve homens, torna a coisa quase intragável.

Agree with user Larmor's sentiment about it being "the missing link between Antonioni and Jarmusch." For me, this is some of the highest praise you can give a movie. Has to be one of the coolest movies I've ever seen. Sweet, subdued, and profound. Dreams upon the limitlessness one can feel with an infinite stretch of road ahead and time to paint it with.

It seems like the missing link between Antonioni and Jarmusch. Yet, besides the spectacular photography, I found very little of interest in this. It's less graceful and more mundane than Wenders' other movies. Maybe as a consequence, I found it less immersive. I didn't care as much for the characters as I did in Alice for example. (needs a rewatch)

The grouping of these three as a trilogy is fascinating because all three take such different approaches to the road genre. The final entry is arguably the most pure road movie of the three, drifting from idea to idea at a pace that truly conveys the vastness of the German landscape. The loosely episodic nature means some parts are inevitably worse than the others, but the best scenes are staggering. "Life is all there is."

growing up in the Jackass era, seeing a man poop can't express vulnerability to me, is neither artistic nor transgressive. It's just gross. One of the good ones in that arthouse genre of road movies, drifters running from burnt out pasts with no vision of a future. Hanns Zischler in the Criterion extras calls them men "in need of a sort of epiphany experience". And Lisa Kreuzer notes, with a tinge of lament, "It was a men's story."

Perhaps the most personal of the 3. Wenders manages to keep you around on this melancholic road that pays off with its subtle philosophy about life.

was starting to lose me in the middle when the characters/dialogue were becoming annoying, but they won me back over by the end. Alice in the cities the best of the road trilogy imo, but lots of beauty here too and nice music.

The camerawork and the music create a great mood piece, though the conversation is often banal and the philosophical moments comes off as silly.

Probably the most laid-back film ever made. The length is a challenge, but I kind of loved it for its low-key comedy and the quiet loneliness of its inhibited characters, aesthetically captured in the use of empty, open and confined spaces, reminiscent of both Ozu and later Robby Müller-collaborator Jarmusch.

I'm somewhat torn about this one. Ultimately it has some genuinely incredible moments, but it takes at least half of it's bloated running time to get to any of them. Consequentially the film seems much better in retrospect than the sometimes tedious experience of watching it did. Surprisingly, much of it feels like a somewhat redundant thematic and aesthetic reiteration of what Wenders had already done in Alice in the Cities with perhaps a bit of foreshadowing of Paris Texas thrown in.

A 3 hour road movie is something not many people will commit themselves to - a German one is something most people wouldn't even consider. Wenders' direction is brilliant and the cinematography is beautiful - a must for any road movie.The characterisation of the titular characters is phenomenal. It was really great to watch these two men come together, become friends and then part ways.
