'A fine and perhaps unique example of that trickiest of genres, the road movie, and the sort of film that really does deserve the cliched response: they don't make them like that any more, because they really don't. This is Wim Wenders' black-and-white 1974 film, whose cerebral, confident strangeness looks even more distinctive than ever.'
