Wenders turns the piece into another of his spiritual odysseys, a sort of pilgrim’s progress that starts literally in the Valley of Death as the lost hero (Harry Dean Stanton) emerges from the desert and undergoes a painful journey, through which he regains contact with reality, home and roots.
Stunningly photographed by Robby Muller, few films have related landscape so eloquently to the psyche of its characters.
