Got this from Video Ezy the other day. I liked the bird fucking in Pink Flamingos so I took this title literally - big mistake. I thought the Germans were renowned for their fetishes, so Wim Wenders has come as a substantial disappointment to me.

Understands and deconstructs the melancholy of Hebrews 13:2, potently applied to the city of Berlin- a place fractured, split, "fallen", perhaps, separated from its intended wholeness, cut down the middle by a crumbling, flaming sword covered in graffiti. The Witness of the angels lends every human experience legitimacy. Their curiosity reminded me of another verse: Who does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it. We are all children, be kind to each other, companero.

On my second watch, this movie dug deeper and hit me in a more affecting way. I still haven't fully grasped what Wenders is talking about at times, but I keep listening. I hope I get to hang around with Peter Falk and Bruno Ganz when I die.

At times it tends to be a bit too grandiose and serious, and the ending sequence is a bit devoid of passion given the nature of what occurs, but it's mostly a great movie, with some fantastic black-and-white imagery reminiscent of Gordon Willis' work on Manhattan. The movie doesn't rush along with a plot, instead allowing the viewer to slip into a reverie as we live and see the world from the perspective of an angel. It's very beautiful and memorable.

I liked it more on my second viewing than the first. It's minimalist in terms of script, but it's poetic and beautiful in a way that actually worked for me, which is unusual as I'm typically a dialogue kind of guy. Also, Peter Falk out of falking nowhere!

Tonal and stylistic echoes of Chris Marker's La Jetée, all in service of a story that persistently favours mood over narrative propulsion. By the time the film empties its visual inventory of cinematic techniques to give us any semblance of a dramatic pulse, it arrives in the form of a painfully contrived interaction that feels more like a theatrical contrivance than a genuine development of character. A second viewing, however (cf. Nepata's review) may change my mind about this film.

It is a beautiful film. Dreamy, stunning and captivating. Angels crossing over in to the human world and man entering in to woman as metaphors for how both sides of the Berlin wall must cross in to each other and unite as one. One of those rare films that is actually life affirming; the warmth from rubbing your hands together, drawing two lines to make a good line, interacting with one another. Taste, sensation, loneliness and love - life.

The kind of heavy material that just doesn't have a script insightful enough to pull it off. Wenders is hailed in the New German Cinema but this seems like the weakest kind of classical themes, only occasionally dwelling on a moment/thought of interest. It does deliver on a nearly continuous level of stellar imagery. I could almost understand buying into this based solely on that......almost.

A beautiful movie, the difference between our human view of earth and the angels' is done so well I found myself almost overwhelmed when the switch to human view occurred due to the increase in noise and color. Each character was a joy to watch, especially Peter Falk. My only real letdown is the ending which felt a little passionless, though I feel pretty certain if I understood German their first meeting would have had a little more potency.

Audio-visually it's a technical achievement of sorts, but Wings of Desire is so persistently lyrical, reflective and melancholy from beginning to end that it becomes tiresome to watch and lacks emotional impact. I prefer the less artsy Paris, Texas to this.

I've no doubt this is a "great" film and people who love this type of film will adore it, but I rate films based on my tastes and this was not a match. Neil Gaiman's Good Omens was more my taste when it comes to angels interacting with Earth. I liked the usual Wim Wenders self-discovery. It was a chore to sit through most of the film in relative static waiting for characters to express deep contemplation. I liked the expressionist black and white scenes. Fav scene: bar talk w/lady on true love.

Beautifully rendered and performed meditation on life (and the afterlife) features in Falk one of the best and most touching "meta" performances this side of Malkovich, with Ganz and Sander appropriately stoic as a pair of yearning, wistful angels. Packs a lot of weighty philosophical musings into its essential lack of narrative, and in this sense it's more of a sensory experience than a traditional narrative journey, but extremely satisfying (and moving) on that basis.

We, as mere humans, always seek ways to transcend the banality and futility of our existence. It's ironic, funny almost, to think of angels who desire the same thing in the other direction. Humans always seek the unseekable, it is part of our nature. And this beautiful film, with its luscious imagery and visual splendor, shows it like no other. In this absurd world, our supporting angels are also devils. Because implying the need for angels, means we're living in a devilish world.

After great reviews, I had high expectations. But, I am not fond of this movie. It is very pretentious and arrogant. It takes forever to get anywhere, and when it does finally start telling a good story it quickly turns tragic. There was too much tedious nonsense, superstitious bunk, and then they pulled the rug out from under the main character after he makes his big sacrifice. That just took the heart out of it and rendered the movie pointless for me. Perhaps not a waste of time, but nearly.

Better than the schmaltzy remake in every possible way, better dialog, better music, better story, and thank god it has a better ending. The only thing that bugs me about this movie is that Wim Wenders seems to think that everyone walks around saying profound things to themselves when their mouths are closed, don't kid yourself.

In 1998, Robert McKee wrote the following, in an extremely WEAK (vag) theoretical text on the art of scriptwriting called "Structure Spectrum": "Originality lies in the struggle for authenticity, not eccentricity. A personal style, in other words, cannot be achieved self-consciously." This is the film that proves him wrong. Eccentric, personal and very self-conscious. Falk, Ganz, Cave. Unforgetable. Just would've wished Wenders hadn't made that dream sequence. That was ... disgustingly 80's.

A dream like state, full of reverie, images of deep black and grey, forlorn scenes of broken earthly cities, lonely people. Despair, crime, a lack of hope. Contrasted against angelic peace. Sedate, unimposing, free, yet inversely shackled to a fate of... entopry. Wenders introspectively observes the human condition, our state of imperfection and teases through art (our fleeting connection to the divine) at the what it means to be human, and what gives life meaning. Simply beautiful stuff here.

My girlfriend called this film an "existentialist buffet," and there is perhaps no more apt description. Its narrative is fragmented and meandering, but this is not a film that one watches for conventional plot progression. Despite its heavy-handed meditations on the nature of what it is to truly be alive, Wings of Desire is an absolutely gorgeous film filled with breathtaking photography. Also, it gets points for Nick Cave's appearance where he and the Bad Seeds perform "From Her to Eternity."

It was so dry I almost quit, but I stood my ground and turned out to love it - and I have no idea why. It is incredibly heavy on monologues, but the film just has so much to say that there is so much more to it. Its a bit messy, a bit aimless, but it certainly gets its point across.

This one never quite grabbed me. A lot of the dialog comes off as philosophical musing for the sake of musing. As someone who reads a lot of philosophy, stuff like this should be right up my alley. But here it's often forced into the dialog and what they muse over is repetitive and pretentious. As a result, they make the central love story feel trivial, which is a shame because it's an interesting premise. Also not overly fond of the cinematography - The overuse of angle lens is annoying.

It looks absolutely breathtaking and that's almost enough to carry a two-hour film on its own. But, despite the interesting concept, there's really nothing insightful or meaningful (or interesting) here. This had every potential to become a poignant and affecting picture, but Wenders wastes that potential in order to make something that's bloated, pretentious and ultimately hollow. The film is at times moving but almost exclusively thanks to the gorgeous cinematography.

From time to time I try to recollect the poem from this film that goes "Als das kind kind war..." Of course I mostly fail at that, it being German and all, but I just realized that the fact that I even want to remember a German quote, it being German and all, is such an amazing accomplishment that it's perhaps the greatest credit I can give this film. So there. Peter Falk is great, the poetic atmosphere is great, the cinematography is great. But nothing in this film is as great as that poem.

This was interesting to say the least and it left me both in awe as well as having mixed opinions. The way it felt for me was just super confusing and messy at first. But then I figured maybe that is what it would be like to try to perceive what angels do, but as a human. And then in the middle part and some ways past that, I was really into the beauty of it. The desire to feel human things and then being able to experience something as simple as colors or the taste of coffee were just amazing.

Fascinating, though sometimes it's a bit full of itself in a pretentious sort of way. It's an odd and unique film--oddest (but delightful) is the inexplicable, yet inspired, integration of Peter Falk (as himself). The sound design is amazing, especially in the beginning, and the contrast in camerawork between the two "halves" of the movie is great. Some of the shots in the first half are very technically impressive, with a camera that seems to be free floating in ways it shouldn't be able to.

Call me a Demon, but I wasn't a massive fan of this. It's a cool premise with Angels for sure, but unfortunately three quarters of it is just that and it got pretty tedious, despite some nice dialogue and setpieces. Once the actual plot kicks in, it picks up a bit but by then I lost most of my interest in the film sadly. Maybe this would have worked better as a short film? Looks great, good music, well acted, and some positive scenes and ideas dotted around, but it's simply not enough.

The first 80 minutes with its meandering exploration of pieces of human inner monologues, full of doubts and feelings of being lost, warranted a 96 rating. Alas, I found the second half not as inspired as the first. The encounter of Ganz with the sensible world is less poetic than the first part. The love story sounded artificial. Maybe for this reason, the ending monologue, while aesthetically resembling previous ones, left me unshaken.

Isn't life under the sun just a dream? Isn't what I see, hear, and smell just the mirage of a world before the world? Does evil actually exist, and are there people who are really evil?

While I might have some questions about the theological implications posited by this movie, there's a certain "good" feeling it leaves. The beginning moves glacially and even the ending seems too wordy ("speak with the tongues of angels" notwithstanding). There's an interesting love story that pushes us along, but there's no great surprise when it comes together. With its beautiful cinematography (and hauntingly beautiful shots of a now-different Berlin), it's worth a second watch.

Seamlessly beautiful. Invites the viewer to abandon the role of a detached observer and come outside the wall to feel and love proudly. The scene with the old man reminiscing Potsdamer Platz was eerie knowing how hyper-commercialized it is today.

Little actually happens in Der Himmel über Berlin; two angels roam the streets of Berlin, observe people, listen to their internal monologues (ranging from the mundane to the existential). Most of the monologues were hard to digest, but that did not bother me. Neither did the lack of action; the plot is aimless, but certainly not without meaning. Wenders treats us to some beautiful black-and-white shots of Berlin; they are so richly textured that they start to resemble paintings.

I was in my mid twenties when this was made, and I found it very dated, very much in the spirit of its age. Modern technology has transformed many of the questions it poses beyond recognition, really. Cinematographically it is absorbing viewing, but the frail story cannot really support such an edifice.

I wish I loved this movie more than I do, because it seems so easy to love. Creative, deliberate, contemplative, existential, beautiful ghostly cinematography. Yet it all seemed nearly insubstantial, weightless. It did not affect me as deeply as I felt it should. A beautiful movie nonetheless that I would recommend highly to certain types.

This is an interesting vision about common life cleverly putted into the perspective of an observer, an angel, so the viewer feels like the observer and empathized with him watching common men struggling with their life. You can see the German detached movie style all over. The only thing for me was the slow pacing, I'm not used to lengthy lines so often I was lost not really watching the movie.

I tried so hard :((((( didn't make any sense and was so empty though. And it's only the first part of two, like fuck am I gonna watch a sequel to this. I'm beginning to believe that fancy camera work does nothing for me.

Deeply poetic, mindful, and artfully done. Not a popcorn flick, by a great movie to inspire the artist within.

It was really good. It had great visuals, with some nice camera-work. The best part, however, was the dialogue, if you can call it that. A lot of it bordered on poetry. Lots of existential ponderings, which I enjoy.
