No movie that I eye on a regular basis makes me feel so powerfully the joy of being alive as this one. Although many films and numberless and sappy television shows since 1987 have musty angels of one bad sort or another, Wim Wenders managed to success while all the others failed. Working from a memoir by eminent writer Peter Handke, Wenders takes angels that seem to have more in celebrated with Rilke’s Duino Elegies than the Bible or the Current Age angels. Their function is to witness and sight and report, and in their believe petite fashion, to comfort and commiserate. The trick wasn’t to near up with the gimmick of angels being able to listen to the thoughts of humans, but to create those thoughts splendid and representative of all that is quintessentially human. The trick wasn’t to have the angels stare in shaded and white and the humans in color, but in making what was seen, whether two or many toned, ravishing. One has only to perceive the absolutely appalling CITY OF ANGELS, an English language remake starring Meg Ryan and Nicholas Cage, to look that having gimmicks isn’t enough; you must have substance as well.
This is not a perfect film. There are some tedious moments, and I thoroughly abhor a couple of moments in the film, in particular, Dommartin’s speech to Bruno Ganz in the bar reach the ruin of the film. But there are so many lovely moments, so many moments where they not merely gather something proper, but accomplish a moment of almost transcendent beauty, that WINGS OF DESIRE provides more than entertainment, but something akin to a reason to live. The movie becomes in the waste a celebration of life, of all the tawdry elements that go into being human. The movie ends in affirming nearly as many things as Walt Whitman does in “Song of Myself.”
I like the cast. Bruno Ganz is perfect as Damiel, the central angel of the chronicle. Likewise, Otto Sander’s face is the perfect receptacle for all that he witnesses on his peaceful rounds through Berlin, while Solveig Dommartin is so sympathetic a character, so dazzling, that one could imagine an angel or anyone else yearning to be with her. And Peter Falk turns in a remarkably quirky character role, playing himself on region in Berlin. The city itself emerges as a major actor, providing what is obvious to stand as the last large visual representation of Berlin in the last couple of years before the Wall fell. Curt Bois was a frail character actor who was a staple in Hollywood films in the 1930s and 1940s, playing a immense number of waiters and tailors and hotel clerks (he plays the pickpocket at the very beginning of CASABLANCA) . In what would be the last role before his death, Bois appropriately plays “Homer,” the venerable man remembering all that had occurred in Berlin in the past several decades, playing the role of human watch to counterbalance the angelic witnesses.

This film and UNTIL THE Demolish OF THE WORLD, a Wenders film that followed this one in 1991 have to have two of the best soundtracks I have encountered. Subtract either “Six Bells Chime” by Crime and the City Solution or “From Her to Eternity” by Lop Cave, and this would have been far less of a film, and the scene where Solveig Dommartin changes in her trailer while listening to Slit Cave do “The Carny” might be the best scene in the film.
I first saw Wings of Desire in 1988. It is impossible to snarl someone what this movie is about. They best plan to recount it is to utter that you will learn from it. It shows you what it is to be alive, devour life, and to plunge in esteem with the world around you. Bruno Ganz and Otto Sander are stunning! They fit very well together. Solveig Dommartin was a joy to discover. Her exhaust of multiple languages to present her thoughts and emotions was very well done. Curt Bois fit into his role 100% and was top-notch. Peter Falk was a dazzling addition to the film and also fit nicely with his spend of English and a shrimp bit of German. This movie teaches about Cool War Berlin and the wall that divided the city. It teaches you to strive for what you desire in life because you can acquire it if you really want it. Wim Wenders and Peter Handke were geniuses with fitting all of this together. This movie is totally not Hollywood style. There is no sappy romance or most of the cast getting shot to death in brutal ways. There is no script cast in stone. It pulls at your heart and your mind and never becomes listless or wearisome. It does not order you step by step the residence. It gives basic ideas and lets you resolve in your heart how you will feel the film. Wim Wenders is shimmering! Berlin has changed so mighty since Wings of Desire was released. Wim Wenders has kind of frozen time and preserved this era of Berlin for us. It does not reveal Berlin as some shapely majestic town like a Hollywood film would. It shows how the people are a kind of eclectic group kind of pushed together and pulled apart in this walled off land. Wim Wenders gives a lot of late the scenes info in the angels among us allotment of the DVD. Wim Wenders’ director’s commentary is priceless. He answered questions that have been in my head for the last 15 years. He is very beneficial with all information and takes a lot of time to account for all. A Hollywood director would never do this! The DVD is like a double feature. The movie (in German) is one fraction and the film history, historical city data, and personal information (in English) provided by Wim Wenders about Berlin makes a second fragment.
Wings of Desire is a nice film for German students. Bruno Ganz and Otto Sander tell German beautifully and certain. They expend every day vocabulary so it gives suitable practice with sentence construction.
Do not bother with the American version City of Angels. Maybe it is easier for us in the U.S. since it is in English but it was a complete demolish of film. The American version kills, more like savagely butchers, all the Wings of Desire cast worked so hard for.
