Highly autobiographical work concerning a shoestring movie producer and his ragtag crew. Stranded in the outer reaches of Portugal, the director does not even have any film in his camera. There's nothing left to do but scare up a potential backer - preferably one of those rich, movie-mad Americans.

'The State of Things is arguably yet another director’s take on the absurdities of his vocation, but it is also one of Wenders’ most cohesive comments on the battle between individual expression and the desire for a sense of connection.'
