What they share
Theysit in Crime / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Breathless, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The American Friend is
Hamburg. Dreary skies. A spilled glass of beer. Art-forger Tom Ripley's ego is bruised by a local craftsman. Soon, a Parisian gangster whispers murder, and Ripley offers up the unassuming artisan for a deadly job he cannot refuse. Wenders' somber, Euro-crime mood-piece is best watched on a rainy afternoon.
