Wim Wenders

Studio 360 | Jan 11, 2011

More than 20 years ago, the German film director Wim Wenders made a big splash in America with Paris, Texas. Wenders' new film Don't Come Knocking shares a lot with Paris, Texas -- the Western geography, similar themes and another collaboration with Sam Shepard. Wenders talks about how his films have been shaped by Edward Hopper, Gary Cooper, and Bono.
