Alice in den Stadten

(Alice in the Cities)

(Wim Wenders, 1974)

A beautifully simple movie that, as all the best movies do, manages to convey meaning through allegory, while also functioning as a very watchable, entertaining, somewhat moving story irrespective of any underlying ideas it is trying to communicate..

Wim Wenders could be termed the king of the road movie, and while I don't know that I'd call this outright his best one, it'd certainly make a strong play for the title. In the central role, regular Wenders collaborator Rudiger Vogler has a suitably sort of detached, numb, emotionally distant air that sort of emanates naturally from him without him having to play it up, while alongside him in the title role, 9 year old Yella Rottlander is something of a marvel. She's cleverly given little to do beyond reply and react to him, but she does it with such charm, such sweetness that she lights up the screen basically any time that she does anything. Between them they make a hell of a pair, with her wonderfully, I feel purposely, radiating more life than he does.

It's a beautifully photographed movie, the stark black and white imagery adding to the general thematic sadness of the whole thing, and though it does occasionally descend briefly into communicating ideas via exposition, I think it generally leaves most of itself unspoken, communicating without spoonfeeding, and for that it has my respect. It's a wonderful, very watchable movie, that in spite of a slightly absurd premise is so earnestly executed, and so damn satisfying overall, that it more than works.
