Review of Wings of Desire (1987) by Karen B — 06 Aug 2012

Wings Of Desire is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful films I have ever seen. Not only is the juxtaposition on screen between the angelic black and white world, and the real, colorful world gorgeous to see, but also Damiel's story has so much meaning and romance (in every sense of the word) to it.

His is not merely a journey of humanity's wonder; it is a desire to breathe, feel, taste, touch, and think as humans do. It's a highly sensual story without being lurid. What must it be like to hear the inner thoughts of every human in the world and not fully understand what they ponder? Wings Of Desire answers this question ever so stylistically.
