Pink Panther failure with hanky-panky censorship
2 January 2021
Beautiful cinematography, almost perfect music, and mesmerizing Solveig acting make this movie earn a 6. Wim Wenders who is one of my favorite directors was very ambitious with his idea, making a long on-going movie that never ends, placing the audience like his actors on a purposeless journey - his favorite theme: being lost in time and beautiful unknown locations. The movie is an analogy of the pink panther animation with the same kind of humor. The inspector is chasing pink panther, he never succeeds to catch him, not that much of content but it is supposed to be enjoyable. I appreciate Wim Wender's risk taking but the movie turned out to be a failure in my opinion. Also, probably the most beautiful (hanky-panky) scenes of the movie was censored in the 4:48 hrs version I've seen in Criterion in the US. Shame.
