The first time that I saw this movie it enthralled me. I became so wrapped up in the plot and immersed into the character's intensely desperate interactions, that I felt exactly like Claire: addicted to a sequence of images with... Full review
Thank you for this movie, Mr. Wenders!

This is a movie that is beautiful. For a long time I loved having it on my TV to look at after I had watched it. It's like that - electronic art, fit for your walls like Dr. Farber wanted... Full review

"Until the End of the World" is a movie that has never gotten the recognition that it deserves. Occurring in 1999, when the Indian nuclear satellite has gone out of control (and no one knows where it's going to land),... Full review
complex, intelligent, "realistic-fictious" plot

Wim Wenders sets a touching love story within the plot of a sci-fi cat&mouse pursuit around the world. Once again his movie is spiked with irony and esprit. The story is more complex than in his previous movies. Who got... Full review
A difficult film at first, but so is all good literature

The vast majority of people I know have never understood this film. Probably this is because the 2.5 hour running time of the original release is actually vastly too short for the story. The director's cut is a whopping 4.5... Full review

In its full length version this film is a really absorbing and enjoyable piece of work. I saw it at the National Film Theatre in London years ago, expecting to find the length a serious problem but knowing that I... Full review

I don't know how often this film has been shown in its original length (4hr40min), but this version is clearly superior to the shorter film released in theaters. I was able to see it at screening in NYC. Simply put,... Full review

The cinematography is beautiful... the soundtrack is near-perfect... the director's vision is unique... for the first two-thirds of the film, I was hooked. But then it all goes wrong. Wim Wenders creates an intriguing universe for his characters to inhabit--... Full review
A merry, proto-cyberpunk, romp around the world

UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD (1991) is not like a typical, American science-fiction film. There are no villains or car-chases or explosions (okay, maybe ONE). German director Wim Wenders projected the world 10 years into the future, to 1999.... Full review

Few movies leave me reeling, and this was one of those few. I could not believe what I had just seen when I first viewed it. It was like nothing I have ever experienced before. That's just what this movie... Full review
