Lisbon Story is a 1994 film directed by Wim Wenders. It was screened in the Un Certain Regard section at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival. Wenders, along with three Portuguese film-makers, had been invited by the City of Lisbon to make a documentary about the city, as part of their programme as the European City of Culture in 1994; but the result was the fictional Lisbon Story. Lisbon Story is partially a sequel to Wenders' 1982 film, The State of Things. The fictitious movie director in the previous film, Friedrich Munro, reappears, again played by Patrick Bauchau. In Lisbon Story Friedrich... has moved to Lisbon, Portugal . The principal character, Philip Winter , a sound engineer, receives a postcard invitation from Friedrich to come to Lisbon to record sounds of the capital city for a forthcoming film of his. On arriving, however, the director is nowhere to be found, though he leaves cryptic messages. This sets in motion a mysterious quest.
