State of Things
State of Things ★★★ 1982
Ostensibly a mystery involving a film crew trying to remake a B-movie, “The Most Dangerous Man On Earth,” but also an in-depth look at the process of filmmaking, a scathing look at nuclear warfare and an homage to Roger Corman and Hollywood at large. An enigmatic, complex film from Wenders prior to his American years. In German with English subtitles; some dialogue in English. 120m/B VHS . GE Patrick Bauchau, Allen (Goorwitz) Garfield, Isabelle Weingarten, Viva, Samuel Fuller, Paul Getty III, Roger Corman; D: Wim Wenders. Venice Film Fest. '82: Film.
