Lightning Over Water (1980)

Director 'Nicholas Ray' is eager to complete a final film before his imminent death from cancer. Wim Wenders is working on his own film Hammett (1983) in Hollywood, but flies to New York to help Ray realize his final wish. Ray's original intent is to make a fiction film about a dying painter who sails to China to find a cure for his disease. He and Wenders discuss this idea, but it is obviously unrealistic given Ray's state of health.

Lightning Over Water is chaotic, emotionally and esthetically.

Titolo italiano: Lampi sull'acqua. Nick's movie.

Documentary of last days of directore Nicholas Ray. It is sort of collebrative effort so that the whole film crew is credited as film makers. Wim Wenders is very much in the film and it doesn't follow any certain form and this makes it fresh and it hits emotional core of mine.

It's difficult, it's not very coherent, it's got a lot of problems (don't really get the editing). However, it's fascinating and it's very moving. And it asks so many questions, without really answering any of them, that it remains engaging to the end.

This is another example that reality television has aesthetic roots going back decades. A bit slow, but a great meta-film, and a wonderful historical experience to see Nick Ray in his final days.
