Wim Wenders Interview: Painter, Filmmaker, Photographer | Louisiana Channel
“The world was such a better world in paintings than in reality.” Growing up in post-war Düsseldorf, it was through paintings that German filmmaker Wim Wenders initially discovered the possibility of a different world. This would later come to define him not only as a painter, but also as a filmmaker and photographer, as he shares with us in this personal interview.
A painter at heart, Wenders initially regarded film and photography as a simple way to record his surroundings and the camera as an extension of his painting tools. What he discovered, however, was that the camera could depict something that paintings could not - time. To Wenders, each photograph is a sort of time capsule, frozen in time but with an incredible relation to its own past and future, inviting the spectator to se...

Perfect Days: Wim Wenders & Koji Yakusho on That INCREDIBLE Final Shot
Public toilets may not seem like a feature film-worthy topic. To Oscar-nominated filmmaker Wim Wenders, however, the inspiration from The Tokyo Toilet project in a post-pandemic world sparked an idea that would go on to become the critically acclaimed and Oscar nominated movie Perfect Days starring Kōji Yakusho. In celebration of the film's Best International Feature nomination, Wenders and Yakusho joined us for an FYC screening and Q&A at Landmark Theatres in Los Angeles where Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with the duo to discuss their experience turning the original pitch of making four or five short films about public toilets in Tokyo into a deeply moving and widely beloved Oscar nominated feature film.
Yakusho leads Perfect Days as Hirayama, a man who enjoys a simple, peaceful r...

Wim Wenders on Wings of Desire | BFI Q&A
The acclaimed director joins us to discuss his timeless and poetic masterpiece.
In Berlin angels silently watch the everyday lives of the city's inhabitants and listen in to their thoughts. Unseen, except by children, they cannot intervene in what's happening beyond offering a comforting presence to lonely and unhappy people. Damiel, one of the angels, finds himself increasingly drawn to one such woman, a trapeze artist with nothing to live for, and he becomes tempted to shed his immortality – a move that would allow him to function as a human and finally meet her face to face.
With the angel's viewpoint presented in a sepia style monochrome and a bold colour used for the humans, Wings of Desire is an outstanding, lyrical piece of work full of symbolism and humanity in every frame.

“The world was such a better world in paintings than in reality.” Growing up in post-war Düsseldorf, it was through paintings that German filmmaker Wim Wenders initially discovered the possibility of a different world. This would later come to define him not only as a painter, but also as a filmmaker and photographer, as he shares with us in this personal interview.
A painter at heart, Wenders initially regarded film and photography as a simple way to record his surroundings and the camera as an extension of his painting tools. What he discovered, however, was that the camera could depict something that paintings could not - time. To Wenders, each photograph is a sort of time capsule, frozen in time but with an incredible relation to its own past and future, inviting the spectator to see more than any film could ever show. His desire is for the picture to not only convey a story about itself, but also about the person who took it. “I’m looking strictly for what I can learn about us”, he emphasizes.
Common for Wenders’ approach to both film and photography, is the starting point in painting and in particular the concept of frames. He considers the frame to be the defining factor - if it is not in the frame, then it is out: “The frame is the main act.”
In the end, Wenders became a filmmaker almost without being aware of it, and the transition from painting to photography and films was complete, as he puts it: “Eventually I realized I was no longer a painter.”
Wim Wenders (born Ernst Wilhelm Wenders in 1945) is the director behind movies such as ‘Paris, Texas’, the story of a man who returns to retrieve his life after a four year absence, ‘Wings of Desire’ (‘Der Himmel über Berlin’), which features an angel who falls in love with a mortal and thus wishes to become human, ‘Faraway, So Close!’ (‘In weiter Ferne so nah’), where a group of angels again look longingly upon the life of humans, ‘Buena Vista Social Club’, which documents a group of talented aging Cuban musicians, and ‘Pina’, a tribute to the late German choreographer, Pina Bausch. He has received a multitude of international awards, including the Palme d’Or, the BAFTA and the Golden Lion. Since 1996 he has been the president of the European Film Academy in Berlin. Apart from being a highly praised filmmaker, Wenders is also an acclaimed playwright, photographer and author.
Wim Wenders was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner at Kunstforeningen Gammel Strand. Most of the photographs shown in this interview are part of the exhibition: ‘Wim Wenders – Places, strange and quiet.’

Public toilets may not seem like a feature film-worthy topic. To Oscar-nominated filmmaker Wim Wenders, however, the inspiration from The Tokyo Toilet project in a post-pandemic world sparked an idea that would go on to become the critically acclaimed and Oscar nominated movie Perfect Days starring Kōji Yakusho. In celebration of the film's Best International Feature nomination, Wenders and Yakusho joined us for an FYC screening and Q&A at Landmark Theatres in Los Angeles where Collider's Perri Nemiroff sat down with the duo to discuss their experience turning the original pitch of making four or five short films about public toilets in Tokyo into a deeply moving and widely beloved Oscar nominated feature film.
Yakusho leads Perfect Days as Hirayama, a man who enjoys a simple, peaceful routine of watering his plants, painstakingly choosing the perfect tunes for his morning drive to work, reading books, and cleaning the public toilets of Tokyo. As much as Perfect Days is a celebration of the quiet moments in life, Hirayama's untold backstory and the circumstances that led to his meticulously cultivated life run much deeper.
Watch the full Q&A to learn what struck Wenders most about that original pitch, how Kōji Yakusho became attached to the project, why they filmed most of the movie like a documentary, and then some.

The acclaimed director joins us to discuss his timeless and poetic masterpiece.
In Berlin angels silently watch the everyday lives of the city's inhabitants and listen in to their thoughts. Unseen, except by children, they cannot intervene in what's happening beyond offering a comforting presence to lonely and unhappy people. Damiel, one of the angels, finds himself increasingly drawn to one such woman, a trapeze artist with nothing to live for, and he becomes tempted to shed his immortality – a move that would allow him to function as a human and finally meet her face to face.
With the angel's viewpoint presented in a sepia style monochrome and a bold colour used for the humans, Wings of Desire is an outstanding, lyrical piece of work full of symbolism and humanity in every frame.
