I first saw this movie back in the mid 1980's when it first came out on VHS, and it has continued to be one of my favorite films ever since. What I particularly like is those desert scenes with Ry Cooder's score in the background. The combination of those particular images with that particular music struck me with such power the first time I watched the movie, and 3 decades later it still holds up for me.

Thanks for saying it!
I knew some movies before that I considered master pieces in cinematography, and I still do, but this is clear the number one, gold, in this department.
In 40 years I haven't seen a better movie, with respect to shots, that is. Other parts are questionable, but Wenders was never known for anything else but cinematography.
I confess that I had never watched this masterpiece before, and it is just top. Again, leave out Wenders total inability to tell stories
10/10 for cinematography

I completely agree

I'm kind of glad a German director was in charge of making this film!
While there's no doubt that Wim Wenders has an eye, the DP for this film was Robby Mller.

Wenders is an amazing photographer!
The dust has come to stay. You may stay or pass on through or whatever.

There were many shots that could be in a photography art book. I might look and see if this book is still in print.

I know right? I'm kind of glad a German director was in charge of making this film! It is beautifully shot!
Have you seen Wenders's book
Written in the West
? It has an interview of Wenders about his photographic skills, and the book has a collection of photos that he took before shooting the film.
