Answered prayers
August 26, 2008Wim Wenders’ masterpiece Kings of the Road has been one one of the films I’ve most been looking forward to on DVD, so I was especially thrilled to see this beautiful new series of Wenders films from Axiom in the UK. I have no idea how the transfers themselves look because even DVD Beaver has yet to hold forth on them, but the covers are superb.
I agree. I watched Kings of the Road on a crappy VHS, and it still blew me away. I can’t wait to experience it on DVD.

p.s. don’t believe Gary Tooze’s lies.

Truly great stuff.

“Kings of the Road” is the one I’ve been dreaming about. The perfect road movie.
