The End of Violence is a 1997 film by the internationally renowned German director Wim Wenders. The film featured a prestigious cast which included Bill Pullman, Gabriel Byrne, Traci Lind, Rosalind Chao, Andie MacDowell, and Loren Dean among others. It also featured a distinctly Wenders soundtrack marked with the signature sounds of regulars Jon Hassell, Ry Cooder, and Bono. The film was praised by a select few critics for its stunning cinematography but performed poorly in the box office.
The movie had a budget of $5 million, but only received $386,673 in its domestic box office.
Like many other of Wim Wender's American movies, the film displays beautiful and original locations, for instance the Griffith Observatory in Griffith Park and the Santa Monica Pier.
[edit] Trivia
- There is a scene in the film where we see a live recreation of the painting "Nighthawks" by Edward Hopper.
