Review: Melinda Camber Porter in Conversation with Wim Wenders: On the Film Set of Paris Texas 1983, Vol 1, No 3

Melinda Camber Porter in Conversation with Wim Wenders: On the Film Set of Paris Texas 1983, Vol 1, No 3 by Melinda Camber Porter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This document will be of interest to fans, like myself, of filmmaker Wim Wenders as well as specifically his film Paris, Texas. The book is the transcription of three conversations over as many days with Wenders on the set. He seems almost perturbed if not at least distracted for the conversation and Camber Porter works effectively to get some insight into his artist process while he struggles to form a vision inside his own chaotic production with Sam Shepherd supports remotely. It is interesting to see the entire 1983 source material that went into Camber Porter's finished 1984 piece was excerpted in a couple of different publications. Throughout, there are color photographs, most of or by Camber Porter.
