Rediscovered: Screen Chat with Wayne and Shane

Wayne and Shane discuss movies that may have never made it to the multiplex screens or spent much, if any, time at any theater. There are many fine quality, low budget, independent, and international movies that deserve to be seen. We take two such films biweekly that we feel should be rediscovered.

The Search For Human Connection: Wings of Desire and Amelie

August 07, 2020 • Wayne & Shane • Season 1 • Episode 2

Wayne and Shane discuss the movies they have chosen whose characters are searching for a human connection. "Wings of Desire" (1987), directed by Wim Wenders, and "Amelie" (2001), directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet are compared and contrasted. Though very different in style, tone, and approach, these movies illustrate the common universal theme of the search for connection with others.
