Until The End of the World is an odyssey for the modern age. As with Homer's Odyssey, the purpose of the journey is to restore sight -- a spiritual reconciliation between an obsessed father and a deserted son. Dr. Farber, in trying to find a cure for his wife's blindness, has created a device that allows the user to send images directly to the brain, enabling the blind to see. The creation and operation of such a machine is in stark contrast to a deteriorating global situation, where the continued existence of mankind is under threat froma nuclear powered satellite that is falling toward earth. Until The End of the World is a tale of love and hope -- a metaphor for the journey we must all take toward our future the ultimate road movie. A film by Wim Wenders Starring William Hurt, Solveig Dommartin, Max von Sydow and Sam Neill (description courtesy of Wim-Wenders.com)
