"Actor: Ganz"

• Nosferatu the Vampyre (4K UHD) | Unknown | (22/09/2025) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  Reconnecting German cinema with its Weimer forebears via Murnau's iconic Nosferatu (1922), Herzog's vampire film references its predecessor but has a distinctive temperament. Dracula, played by the stunning Klaus Kinski, is modelled on the monster of the earlier film, yet his obsession with Isabelle Adjani's character of Lucy Harker reveals a certain pathos, even as his army of rats wreck plague and delirium on a prosperous small town. Herzog's images and Popul Vuh's music combine to create a darkly hypnotic and seductive experience.

• Wings Of Desire | Blu Ray | (22/02/2010) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £19.99

  An angel in Berlin decides to become human after falling in love with a mortal. One of Wim Wenders' biggest commercial successes and arguably his most accessible film to date Wings of Desire (aka: Der Himmel uber Berlin) centres around two trench-coated angels Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander) wandering the streets of post-war pre-unification Berlin. Invisible to humans they listen to the tortured thoughts of the mortals occasionally dispensing heavenly solace to those in need. An encounter with a beautiful circus trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Dommartin) sees Damiel falling in love and longing to give up his immortal state in order to experience the simple joys of human experience. Damiel is assisted in his transformation by an American actor (Peter Falk) filming on location in the city himself a former angel who has traded in his wings for a mortal existence. Scripted by Wenders and respected German playwright and novelist Peter Handke the film is impeccably shot by legendary cinematographer Henri Alekan (Jean Cocteau's cameraman on La belle et la bete) blossoming from the monochrome perspective of the angels to colour following Damiel's eventual transmutation. As ever with Wenders music plays an important part and the film features rare on-screen performances by the bands Crime And The City Solution and Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds. Multi-award winning (including the Best Director prize at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival) and hugely acclaimed Wings Of Desire is a delightfully poetic celebration of the human condition. It famously inspired Brad Silberling's 1998 hit film City of Angels starring Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. In 1993 Wenders reunited with Ganz Sander Dommartin and Falk along with Nastassja Kinski and Willem Dafoe for a sequel Faraway So Close!.

• Wings of Desire | Blu Ray | (12/12/2022) from £12.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  This remastered version of Wim Wenders' heart-breaking Berlin masterpiece is a glorious love letter to a city and a time capsule of a bygone era. Damiel (Bruno Ganz at his best) is one of a legion of angels who watches over the lives of residents in a divided city. Set towards the end of the 1980s, before the Berlin Wall came down, the film charts Damiel's desire to feel, just as the subjects he watches over do. In particular, he is enraptured by Solveig Dommartin's Marion, an acrobat in a circus. Although it is only children who can see the angels, Marion is faintly aware of Damiel's presence. As is Peter Falk's actor, filming on location in the city, who has a past that links him with the otherworldly guardians. Outside the central romance, the richness of Wenders' film lies in the snapshots of the lives of Berlin's populace individuals who exist on the periphery of the narrative but who inform Damiel's desire to achieve a human state. Wenders' camera flies above the city (the film's original German title is literally translated as The Sky Over Berlin ), capturing these lives in motion, as Damiel's fellow angel Cassiel (Otto Sander) reminds his friend of what he will lose by achieving a mortal state. Mirroring the shift between colour and black and white first employed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's 1946 drama A Matter of Life and Death , Wings of Desire matches that film's magical aura not just in its subject matter, but as a work of transcendent cinema.

• The American Friend | DVD | (14/07/2008) from £11.99   |  Saving you £6.00 (60.06%)   |  RRP £15.99

  Today a cult film The American Friend is based on the novel Ripley's Game by Patricia Highsmith and won the German Critics Prize in 1977. Frame maker Jonathan (Bruno Ganz) believes he is dying from a blood disease and his American friend displaced cowboy Ripley (Dennis Hopper) decides to use his illness to his advantage. Ripley introduces him to a gangster who proposes to the dying man that he should become a professional mob assassin assuring a large legacy for his wife and children. Since he is facing death anyway what has he to lose? Ripley had originally intended to allow Jonathan to do the dirty work that he didn't feel like doing but has second thoughts when he becomes friends with the doomed man.

• The American Friend | Blu Ray | (22/08/2022) from £11.99   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £N/A

  This adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's Ripley's Game is dominated by the electric interplay of Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper. Ganz plays Jonathan Zimmermann, a picture framer with a terminal medical condition. Through a series of encounters and machinations, he accepts money to kill a criminal in order to support his family after his death. He is aided by Tom Ripley (Hopper), an art forger. Unbeknown to Jonathan, Ripley is behind all the plans. However, the criminal and borderline sociopath's feelings towards Jonathan eventually change and he feels a responsibility to take care of his new friend. Wenders' neo-noir is a far cry from the previous adaptation of a novel featuring Highsmith's most famous character. René Clément's Plein Soleil, a 1960 adaptation of The Talented Mr. Ripley was all sun and glamour. (As was Anthony Minghella's 1999 version.) Wenders' take on the third novel in the Ripley series which also used an element of the plot from the second, Ripley Under Ground is grittier. And in Dennis Hopper, Ripley is a far more unsettling figure. The actor allegedly arrived on set high as a kite and was not the easiest person to work with. But his performance exudes a menace that Hopper would later develop into the terrifying presence that is Frank, the psychopath who dominates David Lynch's Blue Velvet. Ganz, by contrast, plays Jonathan with a subtlety that makes his transformation as the story progresses all the more unsettling. Their odd-couple relationship is the lynchpin of the film, one of the few adaptations of her work that Highsmith admired.
