This film has just made #1 on my favorite films of all time. As they float through the lives of all they encounter, one of them falls in love with a beautiful and lonely trapeze artist. I have seen 244 of the IMDb top 250 movies, and this is without a doubt the worst of the list. This is simply a must see movie. You get to hear their thoughts. Even after seeing it a number of times I find new, interesting and moving things in the movie....It must be, for these winged fellows to have such proclivities. True the basic story is universal and beautiful, but it's Peter Handke's poetry that makes it breathtaking. Seriously, a man should be deemed crazy and out of his mind for even being able to watch this movie without squinting out of boredom.

We are guided gently in to a world full of fallen angels, and then brought full circle back home again. The movie depicts the life of angel who falls in love with a mortal woman. I did like the cinematography and Bruno Ganz has a great face.Slow rhythms and an overabundance of rhetoric, perhaps sometimes pretentious, nevertheless accompany a highly inspired plot that aims to amaze but above all to make the viewer reflect by contrasting some of the most classic "last" themes of existence: temporality and eternity, spirituality and concreteness ( to name a few). This movie is particular in its audience in that those who enjoy sophistication and deep thinking will very much enjoy it. a list of 34 titles Amazing! 15 out of 24 found this helpful. And it manages to be a love letter to those times while also showing the place and time in all its inescapable ugliness. It is without doubt one of the most profound and passionate "concept" films of modern cinema. I had a very hard time sitting through this one as did several audience members who actually left the theatre. 129 out of 160 found this helpful. However those who enjoy action and adrenaline boosting adventure, this film is not for you.
Nothing worse than that.Watching this movie makes one understand why some people dislike "art films." That 100 people have given this film a 1/10 mark is almost beyond belief, as it is an absolute joy from start to finish. And everything -- the bleakness of the landscape, the ubiquity of the Berlin wall, the anguish in which the characters are immersed -- acquires a deeper meaning when we see it through the eyes of two angels. It is a series of unending scenes of streaming introspection. Now after reading the rave reviews I am compelled to write about how different I felt. 2:44 [love in sadness] EP40,take to itself wings 슬플 때 사랑한다 20190427. It captures the spirit of the times (Western civilization immediately before the fall of the Berlin Wall) better than any movie I've ever seen. For the most part this film was dreary and for the the first half much too elongated with the characters going into great detail about their feelings. Did I note the gorgeous actors that vivaciously portrayed the characters in the film? Following the Second World War the continent of Europe was divided not only by political beliefs and economic strife but the continent was also physically divided by a wall that was constructed through Berlin. Early in the movie we see what it would be like to fly above the city. a list of 29 titles I can never be a film-maker because of Wings of Desire.
