Product Description

In WINGS OF DESIRE, director Wim Wenders (Paris, Texas, Alice in the Cities) most metaphysical work, a guardian angel desires nothing more than to be human. Every day, Dammiel (Bruno Ganz, The American Friend, Downfall) listens to the thoughts of mortals who play their lives out on the streets of West Berlin. He finds himself entranced by a trapeze artist (Solveig Dommartin, Until the End of the World) whose eloquent expression of her doubts and fears makes him yearn for a life where he can feel happiness and love. Like Michael Powell s A Matter of Life and Death, the afterlife in WINGS OF DESIRE is a world in monochrome. Only the living can see in full colour and it is their lives, with their moments of sorrow and joy, that Wim Wenders captures so eloquently in this singularly original film that was co-written with Peter Handke (The Goalkeeper s Fear of the Penalty, Wrong Move). Winner of the Best Director prize at the 1987 Cannes Film Festival, WINGS OF DESIRE is both a paean to Germany s capital and a rumination on human existence, and remains one of the most vital films ever made.

Mon allemand se résumant à : "aus, bei, mit, nach, seit, von, zu", merci à l'éditeur de vidéo d'avoir placé une plage de sous-titres anglais ! Pour Bruno Ganz, Peter Falk, tous les deux disparus aujourd'hui, réunis dans ce film poétique cosigné par Wim Wenders et l'écrivain Peter Handke.

3.0 out of 5 stars not what I expected

it is one of those that sometimes I treasure and I will see this again but it was sent right away and in perfect condition. It is just the movie itself with the exception of "Columbo" Peter Falk, who was amazing.

Great picture and sound quality on the Axiom blu ray release:
[...]
Note that the aspect ratio is: 1.67:1 - so you will see two black stripes on the edges of the screen.

4.0 out of 5 stars Take your time - it's a classic!

This stunning production takes the viewer back to DDR divided Berlin and is beautifully filmed. The storyline is a bit difficult to grasp at the start but stick with it and you'll be rewarded with a twist from Peter Falk worthy of any Columbo episode. Watch it for the haunting scenes of the Berlin Wall and the eerie loneliness of a divided city which is now just a memory, but a vital one. Loved it!
