zero focus

“3 AMERICAN LP’S was the first film I did with Peter Handke. It was a film about American music, about three pieces of three LP’s. There was a song by Van Morrison, another by Harvey Mandel, and one of Creedence Clearwater Revival. It was mainly the music and some shots out of a car, landscapes out of the car window. And it had a little bit of commentary – dialogue between Peter and me about American music and about how American rock music was about emotion and images instead of sounds. That is to say, about a kind of phenomenon, that it was in a way a kind of film music, but without a moving picture. It was a 12-minute film and it was never shown.”

I used to be a man called Rousseau But today my name is Sakda Will I remember the freedom?

In the end the camera dies, not the man. But the main thing is that the music is always present.

It is about the song All Along the Watchtower and about what happens and what changes when Bob Dylan sings the song or Jimi Hendrix......Bob Dylan’s version of All Along the Watchtower appears in the beginning and the one by Jimi Hendrix at the end. And in between there is a form of post-story.  (Wim Wenders)
