A good movie

Back in the 90's, I was a huge fan of Win Wenders and, if I recall it correctly, I even saw this movie in the movie theater when it was released. Back then, it didn't get much love (unfortunately, Wenders's movies would get some increasingly poor reviews in the following decade) and there was especially some bad buzz because Mel Gibson, still a major star at the time, really hated it and made sure that everyone knew about his disdain towards this movie. In fact, I thought it was actually pretty cool to have Gibson in some artsy feature for once. Sure, the whole thing was not really amazing and like most obscure indie features, it took itself a little too seriously. And, yet, I really liked the mood created, something I always loved about Wenders's work, and also the characters involved. Back in those days, Milla Jovovich was not only just a pretty face, she was still a very promising actress but, very soon, she would be lost getting involved in all these dreadful Resident Evil sequels. To conclude, even though it might be an acquired taste, I thought it was pretty good and I think it is worth a look, especially if you are interested in Wim Wenders.
