3 American LPs (1969) [Movie] TMDB IMDb WikiData
Drei Amerikanische LP's
director: Wim Wenders actor: Peter Handke / Wim Wenders
other title: Drei Amerikanische LP's / 3 Amerikanische LP’s
Another short was 3 American LPs, which was the first film I did with Peter Handke. It was a film about American music, about three pieces of three LPs. There was a song by Van Morrison, another by Harvey Mandel, and one of Credence 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. – Wim Wenders
