Review by Rada Djurica

One of the very best films from the New Author Film festival was Palermo Shooting by Wim Wenders, which was also shown at the Cannes Film Festival but in a rough cut version.

Palermo Shooting is a brilliant piece of work that is remiscent of Until The End of The World. Here, again, Wenders engages brilliant musicians to help him tell the story, using music to underscore the actions of the central character and provide subtle social commentary. The film says an awful lot about contemporary fast living and modern life. The entire film is full of subtle, poignant and cohesive moments that blend to great effect with the surreal. Wenders' film is a breathtaking, remarkable voyage.
