Visible only to those like them and to human children, Damiel and Cassiel are two angels, who have existed even before humankind. Along with several other angels, they currently wander around West Berlin, generally on their own, observing and preserving life, sometimes trying to provide comfort to the troubled, although those efforts are not always successful. Among those they are currently observing are: the cast and crew of a movie - a detective story set in WWII Nazi Germany - which include a sensitive and perceptive Peter Falk; an elderly man named Homer looking for eternal peace; and the troupe of a financially failing circus, which has closed early for the season because of those financial problems. One day, Damiel tells Cassiel that he wants to become human, to feel not only the sensory aspects of physical beings, but also emotional aspects. He embarks on this thought with the full realization that there is no turning back if he decides to do so. His thoughts are largely because he has fallen in love with Marion, the trapeze artist with the circus. If he does decide to become a human, there is no guarantee that as a human that he will be able to locate Marion or that she will return his affection. His angels, however, may be looking out for him.
Leave your thoughts about Wings of Desire.
| Goethe-Institute Australien MagazineSarah WardWhether or not Wings of Desire qualifies as the most poetic feature to grace the silver screen, it certainly earns that honour where Berlin is concerned. |
| SF WeeklySherilyn ConnellyIt remains one of the most beautiful, heartfelt movies ever, and will always be just what I need. |
| At the Movies (Australia)David StrattonA stunningly made valentine to the city of Berlin, which has never been more imaginatively or more beautifully filmed. A joy from start to finish. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonWings is a soaring vision that appeals to the senses and the spirit. (Review of Original Release) |
| Empire MagazineIan NathanA beautiful, literate and romantic piece of cinema. |
| Wall Street JournalJoe MorgensternA fantasy that... goes right in spite of its solemn style. |
| LarsenOnFilmJosh LarsenHow much Eurobabble are you willing to endure in exchange for a look at one of the cinema's most ravishing and compassionate screen visions? |
| Q Network Film DeskJames Kendricka film of sheer visual poetry and deep emotional resonance |
| Filmcritic.comChris BarsantiWonderfully imperfect, but a gem to those willing to follow along |
| Edinburgh U Film SocietyKeith H. BrownThe delicate way that Wenders' articulates feelings of loss, alienation, and the first twinges of love let the film transcend its historical place. |
