Same Player Shoots Again (Experimental)
From 1967, Wim Wenders’s second film – and earliest surviving work – is an experimental crime thriller following a man with a machine gun across a tableau of repeated shots.
Bookended by shots from Wim Wenders’s lost debut work, Schauplätze, this playful student film finds the emerging auteur experimenting with form, repetition and processed colour, evoking the mechanism of a pinball machine as it watches an enigmatic, trenchcoated figure zigzagging across the sidewalk.
