A recent Wim Wenders retrospective including Wings of Desire and The American Friend took 225,700 at the box office more than double its distributor, Curzon, expected.
Even a recent retrospective of the auteur's auteur, melancholy Hungarian Bela Tarr including the seven-hour Satantango took 65,000. What makes these figures all the more surprising is that these films are readily available to audiences on DVD.
Cinema-going has still to reach pre-pandemic levels but rereleases of classic films are booming, thanks to the fact that gen Z seem to have discovered old movies.
