Until the End of the World (1991)
Overview
Wim Wenders's 158-minute globe-trotting sci-fi drama follows a woman swept into a cross-continental chase involving a dream-recording device, a fugitive American, and the CIA. Set in a near-future 1999, it wrestles with technology's grip on memory and human connection. The Leans Traditional label fits because the film's philosophical center pushes back against technological mediation, treating authentic human bonds as the thing worth protecting. Relationship dynamics in the story are fluid and modern, which keeps the rating from going further right. A German co-production with an international cast, it carries no obvious identity-politics agenda, leaning instead on existential and humanist concerns.
