William Hogarth (1965)
Overview
According to Bernard Cohn's review, the directors "show that the painter of British society at the beginning of the 18th century was not only ahead of his time in his aesthetic theories, but that he carried within him the signs that allow us to recognize a creator." (Positif, no. 70, June 1965, p. 73.)

Report from Hollywood
“It may be worse than Portugal,” observes cinematographer Henri Alekan about a Los Angeles film lab while on the set of Wim Wenders’ The State of Things (1984). A legendary production and a transitional work for the New German Cinema director as his work became increasingly international, Wenders set out to make a film about filmmaking as funding stalled on the American production of Hammett. The State of Things deals with American and European sensibilities about cinema, and he enlisted Lachman to film and document the film being made in Los Angeles. Made for German television, completed in 1985 and unseen outside of Germany, Lachman’s portrait of Wenders at work features striking filmmaking and location photography of Los Angeles in the 1980s, and serves as a candid glimpse into European encounters with American culture at the time.
