Om den här filmen

Wings of Desire is one of cinema's loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts-fears, hopes, dreams-of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, is movie poetry. And it forever made the name Wim Wenders synonymous with film art.

A poignant tribute to being human. "Remember, a heart will never be practical until it's made unbreakable"—The Wizard of Oz

Amazing classic of european cinema of the 80's. Intemporel et impérissable. Comme tout ce qu'a fait et ce que fait ce réalisateur.

Beautiful movie, a gem.
