Wim Wenders is read about 2,247 times a day, in 64 languages.
A typical day, 30 days to 15 October 2026
The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?He turned wandering into a cinematic language - empty highways, drifters in transit, cities at twilight - and made the road movie something closer to philosophy than genre.

About this person
Born Wilhelm Ernst Wenders on 14 August 1945, he emerged as a major figure of New German Cinema with his feature debut Summer in the City in 1970. He built his reputation on a trilogy of drifter films - Alice in the Cities (1974), The Wrong Move (1975), and Kings of the Road (1976) - that mapped loneliness across Europe's margins. Paris, Texas (1984) won him the Palme d'Or and a BAFTA, then Wings of Desire (1987) took Cannes Best Director for its angels watching over a divided Berlin. His documentary work earned three Oscar nominations: Buena Vista Social Club (1999), Pina (2011), and The Salt of the Earth (2014). He served as president of the European Film Academy from 1996 to 2020 and continues to shoot photographs of desolate landscapes between films.
