Below we report the comment by Patrizio Rossano published on FIRST Art, FIRSTonline magazine, on the new documentary by Wim Wenders presented at Cannes in recent days in Cannes Pope francesco. A man of his word.
He is considered one of the pillars of contemporary German cinema, together with Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Werner Herzog, Alexander Kluge and Edgar Reitz. Let's talk about Wim Wenders and his works (in some cases "masterpieces") that have profoundly marked the history of European cinema speak for him. For feature films we mention – in our opinion – the best: During the tempor 1976, The American friend of 1977, Paris, Texas of 1984, The sky above Berlin 1987 while for documentaries we remember Buena Vista Social Club 1999 and The salt of the earth (magnificent!) dedicated to the great photographer Sebastião Salgado in 2014.
We talk about it because it was introduced to Cannes in recent days the documentary Pope francesco. A man of his word made by Wim Wenders, commissioned by Vatican Media and produced by Samanta Gandolfi Branca, Alessandro Lo Monaco and Andrea Gambetta.
