Part of the Kino Dreams - The Reveries of Wim Wenders Season
New German Cinema auteur Wim Wenders followed up his acclaimed road movie trilogy (Alice in the Cities, Wrong Move, Kings of The Road) with an adaptation of Ripley’s Game, the third of Highsmith’s five Ripley novels. Also incorporating strands of earlier book Ripley Under Ground, The American Friend sees the protagonist (broodingly played by counter-culture icon Dennis Hopper) involve terminally ill picture framer Jonathan Zimmerman (Bruno Ganz) in an underworld murder plot.
