Acclaimed director Wim Wenders’ most corrosive statement on the art of filmmaking, this is a powerful journey into the underbelly of the American film industry. When his producer disappears, director Friedrich travels to Hollywood to find him. What he uncovers is a shady world where criminals and moguls barely differ and the art of filmmaking is another money-making enterprise. (British Film Institute (BFI))
