Lightning Over Water (1980) More at IMDbPro »

• After Nicholas Ray died, Wenders was too depressed to help edit the film, so he left it to his friend Peter Przygodda. Przygodda spent a year working on it and this was the 116-minute version shown at the Cannes Film Festival. Wenders however, was disturbed by this version and found it depressing and obscure. He spent three months with Chris Sievernich re-editing the film. Aside from cutting more than 25 minutes, he added more footage of Susan as well as his narration of Ray's diary. This is the 91-minute definitive version of the movie.
