Goethe-Institut Houston

Film Screening | Thu, July 16, 7:30PM | Skylawn Room @ POST HTX The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick

Based on the novella of the same title by Nobel Prize winner Peter Handke, Wn Wenders sophomore feature film gathers urban flaneurism, Hitchcockian suspense, mid-century ennui, and post-war cultural Americanization into a queasy but definitive early work of one of German cinema’s greats.
