"Wings of Desire"
1988
Directed by Wim Wenders

"The first time I saw the film I thought it  was a knockout; on second viewing it already seemed a classic," wrote J. Hoberman of Wim Wenders' re-examination of the divided city of Berlin. Damiel, played by Bruno Ganz, is the angel who has grown tired and frustrated at his inability to affect people's lives. When he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he decides to leave the heavens and enter the mortal world. With incredible cinematography by Henri Alekan, Wings of Desire is one of the rare movies of the past decade that actually stretch, break and re-form the boundaries of the medium" (David Denby, New York Magazine). Winner - Cannes Film Festival (1987) "Best Director" and "Best Screenplay". German with yellow English subtitles.  108 minutes.
