Wings of Desire: Der Himmel über Berlin (1987)

A film about two angels walking amongst the living, hearing their thoughts and helping those in need through a kind touch. A film in Time's 100 Movies of the Century, Yahoo's 101 Movies to See, and the 1001 Movies to See Before You Die.

Starring Bruno Ganz [best known for his portrayal of Hitler in Downfall]. The angels see in black-and-white, and after centuries of roaming around helping people Bruno's character desires to be human. Wanting to be able to touch, smell, taste, and see fully. As an angel he meets Peter Falk, you know Colombo, an angel that went through the same process of becoming human. Having been an angel he senses Bruno's presence and tells him how great being human is.

Bruno mainly becomes human because he falls in love with a trapeze artist. I really expected this to run the storyline of City of Angels, but the plot doesn't progress fast enough for this. It needed to be 4-5 hours long to get that far. So slightly incomplete, but a good idea for a film. Since it was in German it was impossible to get the full effect of them walking through a crowd of people hearing all of their thoughts at the same time. A pretty good film, but not a "Top 100" worthy film.

Vote: 6/10
