Review of Wings of Desire (1987) by Dan H — 02 Dec 2012
A film that celebrates humanity. It's strange, bizarre, beautiful, poetic, deep, touching, sweet, and sad. It's a great film and I really, really liked it. It is extremely, almost painfully slow and it never quickens it's pace for a second, and it's filled with rambling dialogue but it is still a brilliant film nonetheless.
The actors all do a fantastic job here, especially Bruno Ganz, Peter Falk (who plays himself), and Solveig Dommartin. The film is mainly in dutch with some english throughout so be prepared for subtitles, it's also mainly filmed in black and white with some color interspersed throughout as well.
Overall, the film is unique and one-of-a-kind, there is nothing else like it. It masterfully creates a specific mood and it tells it's main message beautifully. Everyone should see it at least once.
