Perhaps best known for his movies "Paris, Texas" and "Buena Vista Social Club," German director and writer Wim Wenders talks about movie making.
Only half the script was written as shooting of "Paris, Texas" started. Every night Wim Wenders was on the phone with co-writer Sam Shepard to get the dialogue for next day's scenes.
I met with Wim Wenders at the Palm Springs International Film Fesstival, and afterwards we sat down, poolside, at his hotel to talk about his motion pictures and his love for the United States.

Review of Wim Wenders; Phoned-in Dialogue
Well, it's just my opinion, but the three separate Wenders pieces would work much better as one longer piece. This piece continues some of the thoughts on filmmaking Wenders began talking about in 'Workaholic'. Listeners choosing only one segment out of the three may will be shortchanged. Listen to all three if you can.
