本片是文德斯应尼古拉司·雷的邀请与其一同拍摄的纪录片，雷是美国著名的文艺片导演，最出名的作品包括《无因的叛逆》、《万王之王》等。本片真实地纪录了他生命最后岁月里的一些琐事，包括他本来要计划拍摄的绝唱，是关于一个画家远赴中国寻求医治良方的构思，但遗憾的是在纪录片还未发行前因癌症去世。本片忠实地描述了他对于死亡将临的感受。

"Actually, Schauplätze didn’t get lost completely. Two shot were left, and they’re now the first two shots in Same Player Shoots Again. In a way, they’re a prelude to it – or rather its antecedents. They come before the credit title. And the rest of the film, after the title, is just one three-minute shot that’s repeated five times. It was shot in black-and-white and its repeated five times, but always in a slightly different color. I mean its not really colored, just a little bit blue and a little bit red and a little bit green along the street."
"At first, you only see his feet. He’s wearing a long coat, and later you can see up to his waist. He has a machine-gun in one hand and he begins walking fast, then he slowly begins to run and he stumbles more and more, as if he were hurt or wounded. He doesn’t actually fall. You just see him running. You see the coat and the machine-gun and his feet. And in the end, the film starts again from the beginning. Its somewhat different from those loop films that were in vogue at the time – those were without an end and you could watch them indefinitely. Whereas in Sam Player Shoots Again, there was a development and there was a new beginning each time."
"For me, it had a lot to do with pinball machines – I mean a game where you have five balls (you used to have five balls, now you only get three). At the time, you had five balls and five games, and that’s a little bit the structure of Same Player Shoots Again. Visually, its as if you had five balls. In fact, that was the idea, to edit it this way. It had some music, too, music I found on an old 78 record that was called Mood Music ad it sounded like music from an unknown Hitchcock film. I used two small pieces of it – one of 10, and one of 15 seconds, one in the beginning of the shot and one at the end – that is to say – the two pieces of music were repeated as well."

纪录片围绕教皇方济各的经历展开。从他对穷人和财富不平等点切入，到他对环境问题和社会正义的参与等一系列事件来展现教皇方济各的方方面面。影片由焦点影业打造。

尚且在筹备阶段的维姆·文德斯新片《The Beautiful Days of Aranjuez》已成戛纳香饽饽，交易市场上意大利、巴西、希腊都已超前买下发行权。影片剧本由与文德斯合作《柏林苍穹下》的彼得·汉德克撰写，故事讲述一对男女在夏日傍晚分享彼此对于爱与自由的看法。影片将于6月份开始制作。

Wenders' first full-length film was produced as his graduation project at the Academy of Film and Television in Munich ("Hochschule für Fernsehen und Film München") which he attended from 1967 to 1970. Shot in 16 mm black and white by subsequent long-time Wenders collaborator Robby Müller, the movie exhibited many of Wenders' later trademark themes of aimless searching, running from invisible demons, and persistent wandering toward an indeterminate goal. In this case the journey is that of protagonist Hans (Zischler) after he is released from prison. Searching through seedy West German streets and bars, he finally winds up visiting an old friend in Berlin.

一位德国成功的摄影师，他的电话还是响个不停，应酬还是没完没了。为躲避这些，他来到意大利南部城市帕勒莫，但是在这里他遇到了一个神秘杀手的追逐，与此同时，他遇到了新的爱情和新的生活。

文德斯描写了暴力的外在表现，试图从一个新的角度来探讨现代社会里的暴力问题。迈克·马克斯是好莱坞的电影监制，他成功地制作了一系列血腥暴力的动作片，成为电影圈名利双收权重一时的人物。
影片中与科技相伴随的不仅是疏离，还有暴力。马克斯用他的电脑制作暴力电影，而加布里尔·拜恩扮演的科学家雷被迫操纵着一套奥威尔式的监视系统，政府特工靠它可以希望可以如愿地消灭敌人。新的通信技术与其说是我们“疏离的现状”的象征，更是它的实际根源文德斯的这部作品有着针对加利福尼亚娱乐业的用心，影片展现了人类文化中暴力成分给予人的情感冲击。
