Wim Wenders still was in his early 20s when he shot this 21-minute short film. This is probably one of his worst works as a filmmaker, but he was still pretty young, so he should be forgiven and also this is much much better than for example "Same Player Shoots Again", another short film he made even before this one here and which has nothing than a soldier walking for the entire runtime. If you cannot enjoy the story of "Alabama", at least you may be able to enjoy the music in here, which is probably my favorite component as well. Also this film has some indicators of Wenders' usual approach to film and his inclusion of western-related aspects, which is fairly unique in my opinion. It's not a western movie, but it has some kind of that spirit. And Wenders already seemed to have a preference for black-and-white films over 45 years ago already. Still, all in all, this film is too weak to recommend it in my opinion. It's not automatically good because it's Wenders. or I should maybe say: Not yet.
