Scene from a Movie


From Kings of the Road (1976), the final film in Wim Wenders's "Road Trilogy" (1974-1976), a film that could be shown today under the banner Why Do Pre-Millennial Men Have Such a Hard Time Discussing Their Feelings?

The man outside the kino ticket/concession booth travels about in a rig outfitted with cinema repair equipment; the woman on the other side of those miniature parlour doors is the owner's granddaughter, and is subbing for the person who usually sits there.

Something about this setting brings to mind the work of Janet Cardiff & George Bures Miller. Speaking of which, they just opened a museum of their work at Enderby.
