“You see, we all got what I call a life trap — a gene deep certainty that things will be different, that you’ll move to another city and meet the people that’ll be the friends for the rest of your life, that you’ll fall in love and be fulfilled... fucking fulfillment... and closure. […] Nothing’s ever fulfilled, not until the very end. And closure — nothing is ever over.”

SUBLIME CINEMA #431 - THE AMERICAN FRIEND

Wim Wenders did the first Ripley’s Game adaptation; the second, and perhaps superior Malkovich version is more true to the novel, this one taking place in Hamburg instead of France - but it’s a wonderful early Wenders, showing his visual flair that developed so sublimely over his career. The late great Robby Muller photographed Dennis Hopper better than anybody else ever has. The cinematography here is just gorgeous, and timeless.
