NEW RESTORED 4K DIGITAL TRANSFER commissioned by the Wim Wenders Foundation and supervised by director Wim Wenders. One of the key films of the New German Cinema, ALICE IN THE CITIES marked the emergence of Wim Wenders as one of the most distinctive European filmmakers of the 1970s. The first in Wenders Road Movie Trilogy (followed by WRONG MOVE and KINGS OF THE ROAD) it is also widely accepted to be one of the director s most poignant films. Philip Winter, a journalist with writers block, becomes the guardian of eight year-old Alice (Yella Rottlander) when her mother... leaves the girl with him briefly at an American airport, only never to return. Back in Germany, an unlikely friendship develops between the two as they embark on a journey to find Alice s grandmother. Through Rüdiger Vogler s portrayal of the embittered Winter, Wenders presents a stark but witty account of the changing face of Europe, the onset of global consumerism and the influences of American pop culture.

Wim Wenders co-writes and directs this German drama. After failing to finish an assignment in the United States, German journalist Philip Winter (Rüdiger Vogler) leaves New York to return to Germany. At the airport he meets fellow German Lisa (Lisa Kreuzer) and agrees to watch her nine-year-old daughter Alice (Yella Rottländer) for her. But when Lisa fails to return as planned, Philip finds himself reluctantly escorting the independent-minded young girl around Europe on a journey to reunite her with her grandmother in West Germany.
