Lisbon Story (German: Viagem a Lisboa, Lisbonne Story) is a 1994 film directed by Wim Wenders. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
Plot
Lisbon Story is partially a sequel to Wenders' 1982 film, The State of Things. The fictitious movie director in in the previous film, Friedrich Munro, reappears, again played by Patrick Bauchau. In Lisbon Story Friedrich has moved to Lisbon, Portugal (the country in which The State of Things was set). The principal character, Philip Winter (Rüdiger Vogler), a sound engineer, receives a postcard invitation from Friedrich to come to Lisbon to record sounds of the capital city for one of his films. This sets in motion a mysterious Wendersian quest. Lisbon Story features performance of Madredeus, an internationally famous Portuguese folk music group, and a cameo by Manoel de Oliveira, who by this point was already the oldest living active film director.
Homage to The Road Movie Trilogy
During the mid-1970s, Wim Wenders made three films which he named The Road Movie Trilogy. Lisbon Story pays subtle homage to these films. The sound engineer in Lisbon Story, Philip Winter, has the same name and is played by the same actor (Rüdiger Vogler) as the lead character in Alice in the Cities (1974), though the character Phil Winter was a photographer in the first film. The name Winter is repeated in Kings of the Road (1976), also starring Vogler, although his full name in Kings is Bruno Winter and he is a projection-equipment mechanic.
