Synopsis
In downtown Manhattan, twentysomething Allie, whose father is not around and whose mother is institutionalized, is a big Charlie Parker fan. He almost subconsciously searches for meaning in his life and meets some idiosyncratic characters along the way.
Cinema Atlas Connection
I had just seen The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (Herzog). I was really impressed by that film. And I really love Wenders's work, but not so much his more recent things as The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick and Kings of the Road.
