• Three and a Half Minutes in Heaven with Wim

    Wim Wenders (Wings of Desire; Paris, Texas) stopped by the Criterion office and took a stroll through the product closet. Check out what he picked, and listen to an anecdote about running into Nagisa Oshima in the most unlikely of places.

      Yah, the background fans are very noisy - maybe next time Criterion might drop a radio mic on? Would make it more enjoyable! Thanks Criterion.

    Very cool! Although I wish Wim had turned around, spotted "Bottle Rocket," and had discussed that film too! :D
