Wim Wenders

This is such a brilliant, brilliant, photograph; a scene that you'd think only possible in a cinephile's, like me's, wildest dreams.
It's from today's Guardian 'My Best Shot' feature and is a photograph, taken by Wim Wenders, (that's his foot) in a pond, on Francis Ford Coppola's Nappa Valley estate and shows Coppola, cooling off in the pond with his wife, Eleanor.
On the rock is Coppola's (future film director) daughter Sophia and, Godlike-(giant of world cinema)-genius, Akira Kurosawa, who was working with Coppola and George Lucas on 'Kagemusha'.
Wenders was working with Coppola, at the time, on his disastrous, lost-gem of a movie, 'Hammett'. He sums up the picture beautifully in the article, by saying;

"It was as if we were all aware of this instant of bliss: the sun shining through the trees; the sound of the crickets; the utter peacefulness of a moment that united several generations of film-makers. Life is good - and every now and then a photograph can do it justice."
