Filmed in grainy black-and-white, a German journalist becomes disillusioned as he tries to capture the essence of America. But when a woman disappears, leaving her nine-year-old daughter in his care, they travel to Europe and embark on a road trip.

‘This is Wim Wenders’ black-and-white 1974 film, whose cerebral, confident strangeness looks even more distinctive than ever.’ – The Guardian

Available as a 4-film Wim Wenders Spotlight pass with Paris, Texas, Tokyo-Ga and Wings of Desire.
