Wings of Desire (1987) – directed by Wim Wenders ✭✭✭✭
I have one film that always comes to mind when I think of the best cinema experience I have ever had and that is a film by Wim Wembers called Wings of Desire. It is a black and white German film about an angel who falls to earth and falls in love. Actually City of Angels is Hollywoods version of Wenders original film.
It was shot in Berlin and is incredibly beautiful visually. The poetry of the language used often brings tears of joy, even though it is subtitled in English it has the same effect as the words of William Shakespeare. In the film we see the world through the eyes of the angels which are without judgement and full of love an compassion for this beautiful yet suffering world. Through them we feel the rain on our face for the first time, we drink coffee and we feel the heartbreak of the separation from the divine.
For me the rating would be 9.5 out of 10
