This movie is a 'must' for anyone in serious cinematography!

I have been watching movies for 4 decades now, and always circumvented the shoot-and-run bloody fighting stuff. My interest has always been with cinematography. And Wenders simply excels in this field. He's a bad story-teller, usually he doesn't have any! And when I saw him in an interview he was just 'ah, hmm,' unable to say anything useful or reasonable.
But he has his way with pictures, atmosphere, observation. If you consider the scene almost exclusively shot along the former iron curtain, and more so in small, cut-off villages drained by the closeness of that separation of the world in two camps, everything just narrated almost as a documentary, you see how this movie stands as a giant in cinema.
I can understand those who consider it 'bad' or 'boring'. It is the contrary to Hollywood's way of making movies: very little in actual places. And yet this is what makes this movie so outstanding: just dump an old furniture truck into a desolate region, put two blokes on that truck, and off you go.
I dunno how the dialogues come across in English, in German much is hilarious, lot of fun, depressing, livid, aimless, individualist, happy and searching for a meaning in this strange life.
"Everything has to change. R." is what he wrote on that sheet of paper on the door of an old American army shelter few meters from the border. And then the parted.
