"What is it, what is it Peter, why does your mind stray?"

This is a wonderful and spellbinding film in which two angels move invisibly around Berlin, listening to the thoughts and fears of ordinary mortals and offering their comfort. In the midst of this beautiful odyssey is Peter Falk, who gives a heroic performance as himself, a Hollywood star, in Berlin for a film based on the city's Nazi past. He is of particular interest to the watching angels, being an ex-angel who has traded his immortality to become a human actor - as is Marion, a circus trapeze artist whom one of the angels falls in love with. Wings Of Desire is a mythical and joyful experience whose transcendent beauty will uplift your heart. < less
