A trilogy of road movies created by German iconoclast Wim Wenders in the mid-1970s, these three films form a commentary on the adoption of American culture within a rapidly modernising West Germany.
Alice in the Cities: A journalist a with writer's block befriends a young girl, and together they attempt to locate her grandmother's home through the urban centres of Germany, with only scrap of a photograph as a guide.
Wrong Move: Based on Goethe's Wilhelm Meister's Apprenticeship, for six days we follow Wilhelm: a detached man who leaves his hometown and overbearing mother in the hope of finding himself.
Kings of the Road: Bruno, a film projector mechanic, meets Robert, who has just survived a half-hearted suicide attempt. Together they travel along the border between East and West Germany, visiting cinemas and learning as much about themselves as each other.
Special Features:
ALICE IN THE CITIES: - Audio commentary by Dr Adrian Martin, Senior Research Fellow, Film & Television Studies, Monash University and Co-editor of Rouge Magazine
WRONG MOVE: - On set super 8 footage
- Commentary by Wim Wenders

Dexter's Laboratory - Season 1 $18.99 (AUD) | $28.99 (AUD) | FASSBINDER ON SOCIETY (3 DVD Set) $18.99 (AUD) RW Fassbinder's keen critique of German society is none more obvious than in this three-film boxset combining Katzelmacher, Chinese Roulette and Satan's Brew, films in which he rages against societal pressures to do with xenophobia, the institution of marriage, patriarchy and the fetishisation of consumerism. Fassbinder's revolutionary spirit comes to the fore in these rare and insightful films. | Rw Fassbinder - The Gangster Films $18.99 (AUD) This stunning three-disc boxset finally unites the trio of French New Wave-inspired film noirs in a single release. Each reworking the hard-boiled gangster genre, Fassbinder's films are some of the most interesting and intriguing of the New German Cinema movement. |
