Review of Wings of Desire (1987) by Damon H — 11 Nov 2012
A beautifully shot film, about angels, life, love, and why it is we struggle to live. A film that is both poetic and philisophical on many levels. It follows two angels who have been studying humans for eternity, and sharing notes on our thoughts and actions.
They question why it is we laugh and live the way we do. This continues until one of the angels falls in love with a beautiful circus performer. He is torn over his longing until he meets Peter Falk who plays as himself, and Peter convinces him to "fall" to the Earth and find the woman he loves.
Simply an artistic masterpiece by the irrepressible Wim Wenders.
