The early films of Wim Wenders are now regarded as landmarks of European film. Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move and Kings of the Road became foundations of the German New Wave and cemented the reputation of their director. In One Who Set Forth: Wim Wenders' Early Years Marcel Wehn explores the background to these films. Through personal recollection and rare home movie footage, it documents the director's early life, from experiments with his first camera, via his deviation from a career in medicine in favour of art and film, through to international recognition for the Road Trilogy. Central to these were themes that became cornerstones of all his work: national identity, the importance of personal relationships and the allure of the road. With contributions from the director and the many collaborators who helped define his vision, One Who Set Forth is a compelling account of Wim Wenders' life and work.

Finally a documentary in which you get closer to the human being. And not to the wikipedia page.
'Von einem der auszog - Wim Wenders' frühe Jahre' ist, wie der Titel schon verrät, eine Doku über den deutschen Filmemacher, welche sich zwar nicht ausschließlich, aber größenteils um sein Studentenleben und seine ersten Werke dreht.
Dabei kommen SchauspielerInnen, WeggefährtInnen, KollegInnen und Wim Wenders himself zu Wort und erzählen aus damaligen als auch heutigen Zeiten.
Vll. etwas träge aber daher eigentlich auch passend zum Stil von Wenders produziert, liefert der Film einiges an wissenswerten Infos, wird aber definitv auch nur Fans oder Leute die sich für seine Biografie auch interssieren begeistern.
Wim Wenders 最好的電影幾乎都是 Robby Müller 掌鏡的，一如他最佳的經典作品都有 Peter Handke 的印記，這個合作組合消逝解體後，其實老溫的作品就一直無法回到同樣自在的高度。這部紀錄片拍得很差，並沒有太多影迷不知道的新資訊，但裡面 Robby Müller 不大客氣地批評了導演逐漸隨波逐流、又開始有些大頭症，因此兩人90年代後漸行漸遠，稍微解開了一些以前不明白的謎團。
這部紀錄片最莫名其妙的部分，是老溫年輕的攝影家妻子 Donata Wenders ，竟然做作地侃侃而談七〇年代著名的「公路三部曲」，彷彿如臨拍片現場、近身觀察，但拜託一下哩，三部曲最主要的合作對象是老溫的第二任妻子演員 Lisa Kreuzer，1965年出生的 Donata，妳當時才十歲好嗎⋯⋯電影史不是讓你們這樣竄改的。這種很明顯是為了歷史定位、封神入聖所拍的紀錄片，讓人十分疲憊。
I fucking hate being in Europe this is not a bit I hate it here
On Shitflix U.K. really! Great stuff though.
Unusually revelatory, warts and all biography, presented through interviews with Wenders, three of his five wives, and a number of past collaborators.
To quote his first wife, he is an “incredibly serious” man, as is reflected in his remarks regarding the theme of his films, at 1:47, “… if anything … there’s a common motif that they all possess, and that is … the question, ‘How should one live?’ That is … how can we manage, in these times, with all the things we experience and what happens in the world … How can we manage to find out what we live for? And that, I think, in all the films I’ve made … is the central theme.”
Wenders’…
