NYC Ghosts...

...as seen in Wim Wenders' 1974 Alice in the Cities. Of course they weren't ghosts at the time. Which is part of the point of this week's Tuesday Morning Foreign Region DVD Report, over at The Auteurs.

It's always amazing to me how fast the city changes: as much as Wenders' film is a time capsule (I thought the same when watching his The American Friend again last year), even when I catch an early 1990s episode of Law and Order on cable the backdrop is like a window into a place that no longer exists.
