Lightning Over Water is a 1980 documentary film by Wim Wenders about the last days of director Nicholas Ray, most famous for his 1955 film Rebel Without a Cause.
[edit] Summary
The film is a collaboration between Wenders and Ray to document Ray's last days due to terminal cancer in 1979. The film is partially a homage to Ray who had a strong influence on Wenders' work, and partially an investigation on life and death. Ray's influence on Wenders includes Ray's "love on the run" sub-genre as well as his film noir photography. Nicholas Ray appears in minor roles in Wenders' films The American Friend and The State of Things. Wenders' science fiction film Until the End of the World is named for the last spoken words in Ray's 1961 Biblical epic film King of Kings.
