The Wenders retrospective finally reaches Glasgow in a reduced programme of five films. They are, however, five of his best. Things kick off with two great 70$ road movies, Alice in the Cities (pictured) and Kings of the Road, which are followed by Wenders’ superlative Patricia Highsmith adaptation The American Friend. The retrospective comes to an end with two of his most famous and lyrical works — Paris, Texas and Wings of Desire. The films will be shown weekly throughout June. The opening night screening of Alice in the Cities will be introduced by Paul Dale, film editor of The List.
