Rudiger Vogler
I notice that in this film, his character shares the name of Vogler's character in Alice in the Cities. Is it just a coincidence, or is he supposed to be the same guy?

shareYes, he is. Wenders has resurrected this character (Philip Winter) numerous times through numerous movies.

Thanks for the link :)
I heard somewhere that Vogler's characters in the 'road movie trilogy' (alice, wrong move, kings of the road) were supposed to be the one character in a sense, even though he has different names in the three films.
The idea of him being a Wenders alter ego is an interesting one.

I really liked Vogler and his character, Winter. He should be a bigger star. Of course, this movie was made almost three decades ago. He must be in his mid to late seventies by now, if he's still around.
