''Lightning Over Water'' is a 1980 documentary film by Wim Wenders and Nicholas Ray about the last days of Ray's own life; the director was most famous for his 1955 film ''Rebel Without a Cause''. It was screened out of competition at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Festival de Cannes: Lightning Over Water )〕 == Summary == The film is a collaboration between Wenders and Ray to document Ray's last days due to terminal cancer in 1979. The film is partially an homage to Ray who had a strong influence on Wenders' work, and partially an investigation on life and death. Ray's influence on Wenders includes Ray's "love on the run" subgenre as well as his ''film noir'' photography. The film features excerpts from Ray's movies ''The Lusty Men'' and his unfinished final work ''We Can't Go Home Again''. The sequence featuring the former excerpt was shot at Vassar College, at which Ray presented the movie and then gave a lecture, which itself is excerpted. Nicholas Ray appears in a minor role in Wenders' film ''The American Friend''. Wenders' science fiction film ''Until the End of the World'' is named for the last spoken words in Ray's 1961 Biblical epic film ''King of Kings''. The film crew is extensively featured onscreen. Jim Jarmusch, Ray's personal assistant at the time — and later a notable film director in his own right — can be briefly glimpsed at the 50:28 mark sitting at an editing console. When Wenders goes to the Vassar campus to attend a lecture, a brief one-man performance is seen on-stage. It is Franz Kafka's story "A Report for an Academy", about an ape who becomes a man. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lightning Over Water」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
