until the end of the world is a 1991 science-fiction film directed by Wim Wenders. In the film, Dr. Farber is a scientist who has created a device that can record and transmit images directly to the brain, thus enabling the blind to see. The device is highly experimental, and Farber's wife, who is blind, is the first person to receive the implant. However, shortly after the implantation, Farber's wife disappears, leaving him devastated.
Years later, Farber encounters a woman named Claire who is on the run from her wealthy family and the CIA. Claire has stolen a large sum of money from her family, and the CIA is after her because of the information she possesses. Farber agrees to help Claire escape to an undisclosed location, but she has a hidden agenda of her own. Claire is searching for her estranged father, a famous writer who has disappeared.
Farber and Claire embark on a journey that takes them across several continents, encountering a cast of interesting and diverse characters along the way. They travel by car, train, and plane, and Farber's device captures the many sights they encounter. The journey is a surreal and hallucinatory experience, with the soundtrack featuring an eclectic mix of music by artists such as U2, Elvis Costello, and Nick Cave.
As the journey progresses, Farber and Claire grow closer, but their relationship becomes complicated when Claire learns that her father is in fact Farber's son. At the end of the journey, they finally find Claire's father, who is blind. Farber uses his device to allow him to see, and in doing so, he finally achieves a measure of reconciliation with his long-lost son.
The film is a meditation on themes including love, loss, and the nature of reality, and features a strong ensemble cast including William Hurt, Solveig Dommartin, and Sam Neill. It has gained a cult following since its release and is considered a classic of science fiction cinema.
