CGV to Host Wim Wenders Retrospective, Showcasing Thirteen Films This Year

A Year-Long Program Presented in Three Themes

Kicking Off with Four Road Movies on March 11

On March 5, CGV announced that it will screen thirteen films directed by Wim Wenders this year. This special program is organized in collaboration with the distributor Emu Films. The films will be presented under three themes, introducing a large number of works that have rarely been seen in Korea.

The first theme, launching on March 11, will feature four road movies that capture the spirit of wandering. These include Wenders' commercial debut "The Goalkeeper's Fear of the Penalty," as well as "The American Friend," the 4K remastered version of "Paris, Texas," and the director's cut of "Until the End of the World."

The second theme in the first half of the year will explore Wenders' artistic side as he encounters other art forms such as painting and dance. Four films will be screened: "Room 666," "Tokyo-Ga," "Anselm," and "Pina." The third theme, scheduled for the second half of the year, will focus on the essence of humanity, featuring five films including "Wings of Desire" and "Alice in the Cities."

Jeon Jeonghyeon, Head of Content Operations at CGV, said, "We hope audiences will feel as if they are journeying through the cinematic odyssey of a master who has conquered all three major international film festivals."
