If you were moved by Wim Wenders’ haunting odyssey across the American Southwest, you’ll find a compelling quartet of new and classic titles that echo its yearning for redemption, family, and the open road. From the freshly released "Train Dreams" and its lyrical look at a logger’s life in early‑20th‑century Idaho, to the audience‑beloved "Regretting You" that unravels a mother‑daughter crisis after a tragic accident, the selections continue with "Broke," a neo‑western that pits a fading rodeo star against nature and memory, and finish with the period romance "On Swift Horses," a daring gamble of love and self‑discovery set against 1950s casino glitter.
