Back to Room 666.

Back to Room 666 An online viewing tip. V2 Cinema presents Gustavo Spolidoro's Back to Room 666: "What is the future of cinema? In 1982, in Cannes, Wim Wenders invited many moviemakers to answer this question. 26 years later, the question remains, but Wenders is now on the other side of the camera." So, too, is the ghost of Michelangelo Antonioni, and a few other wispy shadows as well.

It's impossible to watch. My head began to hurt. Is all that droning and somber musing really necessary? It's all Wender's has left, isn't it? A parody of "the auteur"?

Wenders rode by me on a bicycle a few months ago, and my first impulse was to call out, humorously, "Wim!" But then I realized there was nothing I really wanted to say to him...
