*Wim Wenders* - A German film director, playwright, author, photographer and producer.

 

Many of his films are indebted to Nicholas Ray, which is proved by the expressionistic use of color in Der amerikanische Freund (1977) or the title of Bis ans Ende der Welt (1991) (Until The End of The World), the last spoken words in Ray's King of Kings (1961). Im Lauf der Zeit (1976) also lovingly lifts a scene from Ray's The Lusty Men (1952). His movie Lightning Over Water (1980) is a documentary about Nicholas Ray's last days.
