Review of Wings of Desire (1987) by Fred D — 29 Sep 2012
A sad rumination on human existence and behavior, we receive poetic glimpses of Berlin's inhabitants, unable to assist, existing as mere observers, much the same as the angels that occupy the city limits.
Despite the film not being an easy one to sit through, it does float on the screen like a vibrant Matisse or a lush Bordeaux , slowly enveloping us in its layers as it waxes philosophically, and we find our minds wandering the same as the film wanders throughout the population, contemplating our own selves in the process.
