Wim Wenders: 'No movie has really changed any politician’s idea.' Not in a political way. The Berlin Film Festival is known as the most political of the big three film festivals, along with Venice and Cannes. Among others, Wenders made the melancholy cinematic movie Paris, Texas, and the documentary The Buena Vista Social Club. Ultimately, it depends on how you define politics, because the personal is inextricably linked to the political, and the stories we tell are connected to broader society.
