| Wenders' narration does not elevate this documentary above Discovery Channel interest. The film presents typical and mostly uninteresting "city tour" imagery (with minor exceptions that only remotely border on the absurd). The premise that he is honoring/exploring Ozu Yasujiro is flimsy, and the film instead exudes Wenders' own boredom and need to seem deep/tragic (cf. Herzog). |
