"The American Friend." Immensely enjoyable thriller from

Wim Wenders.
Superb acting, as usual, from Bruno Ganz and an unusually understated and excellent performance from Dennis Hopper, playing Ripley.
Intelligent, edgy, drama about a man seemingly diagnosed with a terminal disease who is enlisted to murder-for-profit, thereby allowing his wife and son to weather his premature death.
I'm pretty bad, usually, at figuring out complex films and this one is no different. Unlike the complex "Tell No One," this small masterwork actually creates two fully fleshed out characters, who may or may not be at cross purposes, and makes the love relationship of Ganz and his wife and child believable, as well. When something bad is about to happen, or actually does, you care.
