"Wrong Moves:" I liked it pretty well, think it's essential film viewing,

but it's nowhere near the masterwork that Alice clearly is.
Kings of the Road I liked better.
Rudiger Vogler is amazing: effortless, intelligent, natural: all the things one looks hard to find in an actor, mostly w/out any success.
I have to say that Hannah Schygulla, on the other hand, I find terrible. Vacant. She has appeared in so many great films one would expect her to have made a HUGE splash.
I'm mystified what top directors have seen in her. She is the weak link in Wenders, Tarr, and Fassbinder films.
Anyhow, I love the road trilogy and can't begin to count the viewings. I'd order them thusly:
Alice: 10 star.
Wrong: 7.
King: 7.5.

Thanks for that information. Cant get the DVDs here. There are two World Movies channels on the cable but most movies shown are French and Middle East plus all sorts of Kung Fu. No Netflicks. The new Transformers and the Apes playing in the movie houses.

Cheers
Bill
- I broke down and got an all region DVD player. I don't generally buy DVDs but I got sick - tinear 21:19:09 07/10/14 (0)
  of not being able to see some great films that for some reason just aren't marketed to Americans.
