At the end of 1976," recalls Wim Wenders, "I shotThe American Friend in Hamburg and Paris, with Bruno Ganz and Dennis Hopper. The script was adapted from Patricia Highsmith's novel Ripley's Game. At the time, Polaroid cameras were the equivalent of today's smartphone instant photos - their analog ancestors, in fact. Like diaries, the cameras produced "original" prints.
