WIM WENDERS (director/co-screenplay) was born in Germany weeks after the end of World War II, and helped to re-define the German cinema and produce some of the most impressive creative work every captured on film. Part of the same broad cultural trend in post-war Germany that also included fellow filmmakers Fassbinder and Herzog and playwright Peter Handke, Wenders early short films reflected both his own native German roots and a deep appreciation for American cinematic and cultural traditions. His first feature “Summer in the City” was followed by the screen adaptation of Handke’s short story, “The Goalie’s Anxiety at the Penalty Kick,” an existential mystery that is considered one of his most influential films. The films he made in Germany in the 1970s include “The Scarlet Letter,” “Alice in the Cities,” “The Wrong Move,” “Kings of the Road,” and “The American Friend” which starred Dennis Hopper. Wenders is equally adept at the documentary tradition as he is with dramatic works, making his first feature documentary in 1980 with “Lightning Over Water,” a portrait of American filmmaker Nicholas Ray; later, Wenders’ “Tokyo-Ga” would be a meditation on Japan as seen through the films of Yasujiro Ozu, another of Wenders’ cinematic heroes; while “Buena Vista Social Club,” about a reunion of retired Cuban musicians, earned an Oscar nomination for Best Documentary Feature.
Working in America for the first time in 1982, Wenders made “Hammett” starring Frederic Forrest and the cleverly self-reflexive “The State of Things” before scoring his biggest critical success to date with “Paris, Texas,” written by Sam Shepard. The film swept the major awards at the Cannes Film Festival and earned Wenders a BAFTA Award for Best Director. His next major feature, “Der Himmel uber Berlin (Wings of Desire),” written by Wenders and Peter Handke, was equally successful and is regarded by many film critics as one of the most influential and creative films ever made. The epic “Until the End of the World” followed before Wenders made a sequel to “Wings” with “Faraway, So Close!” His lifelong love for music is evident by his numerous recent concert projects with Willie Nelson and U2 and his direction of “The Soul of a Man” for the PBS series “The Blues”; and his recent feature film credits include “The End of Violence,” “The Million Dollar Hotel” and “Land of Plenty.”

Hi, everybody. I am going to get married but my boyfriend and I are still running credit card debt we made when at college yet.

So, now we both are looking for bad or fair credit card applications to repair our scores. We wonder if
