Review of Wings of Desire (1987) by Lynda M — 09 Jul 2008
It's a movie that might have fallen into sentimentality at any one of a dozen moments, but thanks to Peter Handke's wryly realistic writing and Wender's gently controlled direction, it never does.
It's a perfect fantasy for people who usually deplore fantasy. But people with a suspicious regard for the twee will like it as well. A pure film surviving well in this perverse merchandised western world.
