We just returned from a longer vacation in Tschierv and this time during our stay in Zurich we discovered the Joyce Foundation. It has been there for years and I am shocked that I only found out about it now.

I have visited Joyce’s grave outside Zurich a number of times but never considered looking for anything else.

The foundation comprises a large library on James Joyce and has a wonderfully friendly and interesting staff.

I am looking forward to visiting the Foundation again sometime this year.

Drugs and alcohol killed her. She is responsible for what she did, but she had deep pain for which she was not responsible. She was responsible for how she dealt with it, which brings us back to the beginning of this circle.

It was nice to view this film again after at least 30 years. Some of the images were imprinted in my memory, as I imagine they were imprinted on Wenders’ as well.

I recently found this DVD for sale and bought it, along with Falsche Bewegung, also by Wenders. It is good to look back at his early work.

  • Writing credits: Wim Wenders (Veith von Fürstenberg)
  • Starring: Rüdiger Vogler, Yella Rottländer, Lisa Kreuzer, Edd Köchl, (Chuck Berry also appears)
