Notebook on Cities and Clothes (1989)

Member Rating:

In this film, the prolific German documentary director Wim Wenders has taken on the subject of Japanese fashion designer Yohji Yamamoto as he prepares to debut his designs for another season in Paris. The documentary is as much a meditation by the director on the meaning of documenatries and information in the age of electronic data and computerized images as it is about the skill, dedication, philosophy and work of the fashion designer. ~ Clarke Fountain, Rovi

This film was very confusing. It was distracting and confusing when the filmmaker showed the audience three scenes at once. For example, in scene one the filmmaker filmed his subject discussing his work as a fashion designer. In scene two, the filmmaker filmed the streets of Paris/Tokyo while he was driving. In the third scene, he combined scenes one and two. So, the audience saw the filmmaker driving while shooting the traffic in Paris and the fashion designer discussing his work as a fashion designer. It was hard to follow all of this. I also did not know where the documentary was being made. At times, it seemed as if the film was being shot in Paris, at other times Japan. Lastly, what was quite unfortunate was that the filmmaker did not focus on the fashion designs of the fashion designer. They were treated as an afterthought. I am sorry to say that I did not finish the film, because I could not watch any more. I only watched half of the film.
