PALERMO SHOOTING is Wim Wenders most personal film for a long time. Intimate, adventurous and full of surprises. A roadmovie starring Campino, Giovanna Mezzogiorno and Dennis Hopper. A romantic thriller dealing with life and death and the ultimate salvation through love. PALERMO SHOOTING is also an homage to music – with a special guest appearance by Lou Reed and with songs that were in part written specially for this film, including Nick Cave (with Grinderman), Portishead, Iron &Wine, Calexico, Jason Collett, Beth Gibbons, Beirut, Bonnie “Prince” Billy,Thom, Get Well Soon and Monta. The score was written by Irmin Schmidt, head of the legendary German group CAN, who have hugely influenced the contemporary music scene. Wim Wenders declared: "Italian musician Fabrizio de André, often compared with Jacques Brel or Leonard Cohen. "His 1984 released “Crêuza de Mä” was a milestone in music history. The song “Quello Che Non Ho” from the “Indian” album is in the film and the albums famous cover (with no title) can be seen in a close-up in Flavia's apartment. Fabrizio death in 1999 came far too early, and I have dedicated the soundtrack to PALERMO SHOOTING to him".
And about ROSA BALISTRERI, legendary singer from Palermo, born in 1927 and died in 1990:
"As the daughter of a traveling sales-men she grew up poor, but traveled throughout Sicily in her childhood. Her later life was characterized by poverty and humiliation. She worked as a cleaning lady and performed other unskilled job to provide food for her children. Rosa Balistreri sang with a powerful, at times coarse voice. Her repertoire extended from lullabies to folksongs from all the regions in Sicily to poems from Ignazio Buttitta. She interpreted texts about poverty, imprisonment and the Mafia. Two of her songs are in the film: “Cu TiLu Dissi” and “Quannu Moru”
