The Goalie's Anxiety at the Penalty Kick
A goalkeeper is sent off during a game for committing a foul. He spends the night with a cinema cashier, whom he afterwards kills. Although a sort of investigative film, it is more slow moving and contemplative than other films of the category. It discovers the dullness of the killer's presence as well as, like a lot of Wenders' movies, the overwhelming social influence of America in post-war West Germany.
