Until the End of the World

1991 · 158 min

A sprawling, dreamy road movie that drifts across continents and into the subconscious, asking for patience but rewarding it with haunting images and a melancholy meditation on memory and connection.

Directed by: Wim Wenders
Genres: Drama, Science fiction, Adventure
Starring: Solveig Dommartin, William Hurt, Sam Neill

Tagline: . . . the ultimate road movie
Overview: In 1999, a woman's life is forever changed after she survives a car crash with two bank robbers, who enlist her help to take the money to a drop in Paris. On the way, she runs into another fugitive from the law — an American doctor on the run from the CIA. They want to confiscate his father's invention – a device which allows anyone to record their dreams and visions.
