Director Wim Wenders’ film focuses on the making of a violent Hollywood action flick, but The End of Violence (1997) is also packed with ideas about social disconnection, including visual allusions to Edward Hopper as well as lonesome film noir-style voiceovers. Bill Pullman plays a Hollywood producer who disappears, Andie MacDowell his neglected but scheming wife and Gabriel Byrne a technician at the heart of a surveillance panopticon whose purposes he gradually comes to see.
