Wings of Desire
(Wim Wenders, 1988, West Berlin, 35mm, 127 min)
Made in the late 1980s, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, a feeling of division permeates Wender's classic Wings Of Desire. Not only is Berlin a city carved in half, but its inhabitants, both human and celestial, are cut off from love and sensation. Shot in black and white and color, the film has a hypnotic, dream-like quality as it alternates between human and angelic points of view. Bruno Ganz is the angel Damiel who falls in love with a trapeze artist (Solveig Donmartin) and decides to trade in his wings for mortal existence.
