Sinekatalog’s take

Wim Wenders and Nicholas Ray's film documents the dying director's last months in New York, blending fiction and reality. Raw and tender, with Ray frail and brave, it is a moving and uneasy collaboration on mortality.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
