Un drama de suspense existencialista sobre la manipulación de un hombre en una situación difícil y la amistad extrañamente enredada de dos inadaptados. Quien espere un thriller primario se aburrirá, pero quien sabe qué esperar de Wim Wenders se deleitará con una historia melancólica, realzada por la hipnótica fotografía de Robby Müller y la distintiva partitura de Jürgen Knieper. El conjunto está subrayado por las fascinantes interpretaciones de los dos actores principales, Bruno Ganz y Dennis Hopper, cuyas escenas juntos se sienten completamente naturales y cuyos destinos te gustaría seguir por un tiempo más. Aplaudo a ambos caballeros.

This is a movie for me that is exactly on the border between being great and just being good. Wim Wenders has a certain and good direction, but that doesn't change the fact that it bored me in some moments. However, I don't really have anything to complain about in terms of acting. The actors succeed in building an atmosphere in accordance with the setting and the director's intentions.

Wim Wenders is a serious intellectual, and some of his films are so slow and introspective that they are indigestible for the average viewer. The American Friend is a step into a territory where completely different creators operate, and his film could be described as a psychological thriller. Several scenes balance on the edge of the action genre, but Wenders is evidently interested in something else - the psychology of his characters, their relationships, and their motivations. It's not a perfect film, as the screenplay contains some improbable motives, and the deception in Paris is transparent. Wenders leaves a lot to his audience and doesn't reveal much about his characters, which is only to the benefit of the matter because the viewer's imagination can work at full speed, giving the film a mysterious dimension. Dennis Hopper plays one of his typical villains, but his character is far from one-dimensional and is among the most interesting characters he has created in his career. Overall impression: 80%.
