Alice in the Cities (Wim Wenders): homage in links

Three sequences from Wim Wender's roadmovie Alice in the cities (Alice in den Städten, 1974) with Rüdiger Vogler (featuring excerpt from Young Mr Lincoln, John Ford, 1939)

Film Studies For Free was reminded by a blogpost ('Defenders of Wenders') by Richard Brody at The Front Row (New Yorker Magazine) about just what a great film Alice in den Städten/Alice in the Cities is (Wim Wenders, West Germany, 1974). It's certainly a wonderful film to teach, both in and out of its New German Cinema or 'cinema of the everyday' contexts.

Here, in its honour, is a little list of links to scholarly or good critical resources pertaining to it and to its director Wim Wenders' other early cinematic works.
