As well as being considered one of the pioneers of New German Cinema, Wim Wenders is also internationally recognised as one of the most important figures in contemporary cinema. Marking his 75th birthday, Wim Wenders: Desperado is an intimate reflection on the work of a visionary who captured the spirit of his generation. The documentary provides an up-close, exclusive insight into the artistic process and achievements of an incomparable filmmaker – an improviser who makes every shoot a journey into the unknown. Featuring never-before-seen material and remarkable interactions between Wenders and his contemporaries, including Francis Ford Coppola, Willem Dafoe, Patti Smith and Werner Herzog, the film allows for a unique glimpse into the life and work of an exceptional artist.
