Lightning Over Water, also known as Nick's Film, is a 1980 West German-Swedish documentary-drama film written, directed by and starring Wim Wenders and Nicholas Ray. It centers on the last days of Ray's own life, who was already known worldwide for his 1955 classic film Rebel Without a Cause. It was screened out of competition at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival.

Production

After Ray's death, editor Peter Przygodda edited a 116-minute version without Wenders's involvement that played Out of Competition at the 1980 Cannes Film Festival. Wenders was dissatisfied with this version, and he re-edited the film with Przygodda to create a shorter director's cut.

The American filmmaker Jon Jost, who worked on the project at an early stage, wrote that Ray was suffering from severe mental decline during the production, accusing Wenders and Ray's widow Susan of making Ray work beyond his physical capacity.
