10/10 Im Lauf Der Zeit as a three-hour long black and white road movie requires empathy, patience and a lot of heart from the viewer.You can start a game and play without once releasing the wheel Because in addition to it's artistry it manages to be more entertaining than any silly Hollywood comedy. Even that the film works on an artistic and intellectual level, I think it will appeal to all the people. It's basically about the difficulty of communication, friendship, identity and about the loneliness in us all. We could analyze it for days but these are the main themes I wanted to mention from Im Lauf Der Zeit. This is a long film with many layers, which is why people can write so long reviews of it. But then we have just seen Im Lauf Der Zeit, which is a great modern film and it's a proof of the fact that there's still hope in cinema. Still Wim Wenders gives an optimistic choice to film-industry as it does to its characters 'Everything must change.' In the beginning we see a man telling about the great times of silent movies and in the end we see a woman pitying the modern cinema and thinking is it worth to even keep theaters up for this. The theaters have fallen apart or have decided only to show porn-films. All the movie theaters Bruno and Robert visit in Germany are decayed. If you open yourself up to another human being your identity is in danger, the playing-with-the-shadows scene is a good example of this.

When you're in a state where your identity breaks, you become afraid and vulnerable. Wim Wenders also researches man's identity in Im Lauf Der Zeit. Then for Bruno it is the language, German and English. For Robert communication is mostly writing, printing a newspaper with his father. You can see this in the minimal dialog in the film. The film, among friendship and society is about the difficulty of communication. Not because of it's sadness, but because you can actually feel what the characters are feeling, you can almost touch them. This is a movie where you could actually cry. The journey they travel together feels so natural, there's not a single mistake.

They realize that if you want to be satisfied with your identity you must get over your past. During the journey they learn about life and start to find new things. In the beginning Robert doesn't have a direction for his life, but instead Bruno has, he has got a clear list of theaters' projection equipment to fix. They decide to travel together and during the journey they see movie theaters falling apart and a modern country that is being americanized day by day. Robert Lander (Hanns Zischler), who has just divorced from his wife meets a projection mechanic Bruno Winter (RГјdiger Vogler) who travels from one dead movie theater to other. The story builds around two men and their relationship.

In spite of the unplanned script writing the movie is full of small details and it is very well written, I wouldn't call it a masterpiece if it wasn't. After the film was ready they got a nearly three hour long road-movie film. They kept writing the script chronologically while they were filming the movie and I think that's one of the main reasons, which created this amazing atmosphere for Im Lauf Der Zeit. When they started filming this they actually didn't have a ready script. The big screen achieved to maximize the emotion in it and it let the music express the scenes better. Yesterday I saw Im Lauf Der Zeit for the second time in theaters and loved it even more than the first time. It's the third film of his road-movie trilogy (1st Alice in den StГ¤dten, 2nd False Bewegung) and it summarizes the bottom idea of the two films into a masterpiece. Im Lauf Der Zeit (Kings of the Road - In the Course of Time) directed by Wim Wenders was his first own production (Wim Wenders Produktion).
