ABOUT THE FILM: In French, German, Italian, Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Portuguese with English subtitles. UNTIL THE END OF THE WORLD is “the ultimate road movie,” a journey around the globe, a modern-day odyssey—and it certainly bears similarities to Homer’s saga. However, the aim of this journey is the spiritual reconciliation between an obsessed father and his lost son, and Penelope decides to set out in pursuit of Odysseus. In order to enable his blind wife (Jeanne Moreau) to see, Dr. Farber (Max von Sydow) invents a process that makes it possible to transmit the images recorded in the brains of sighted people directly into the visual systems of blind people. Farber’s son Sam (William Hurt) sets out on a journey around the world in order to “see” and record the various stations of his mother’s life for her. What most interests Wenders here is how humanity learns to deal with images—or becomes their victim. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films COUNTRY: Germany, France, Australia, USA
