In Samira Gloor-Fadel's Berlin Cinema (1999), Wim Wenders reiterates a point that emerged at the Berlin Forum in 1992, at which he was a speaker. Wenders said that one of the things he really liked about Berlin was its sense of space, and he talks about space in reference to his films too, the sort of in-between space that gives audiences room to fill things with something of their own making, their own meaning.
