Review of Wings of Desire (1987) by Msmith208 — 24 Oct 2018
"Wings of Desire" is a black and white film that follows two immortal angels, Damiel and Cassiel. Through their journey through the city of Berlin, they touch the lives of many with their presence.
Though many are unable to see them, children can. With just a touch of these angels hands, they are able to heal the thoughts of people (the man who commits suicide and help comfort the woman in labor).
Although this movie may sound interesting, it is not. The movie becomes dull in some parts. For example when the conversation at the bar between Damiel and Marion runs on for so long or when we are stuck watching Marion's trapeze routine for what seems like an eternity.
These too long of scenes it what ruined the movie for me. Overall I would not recommend this movie if you enjoy exciting, action-packed, funny movies because you won't get that out of this one.
