Wings of Desire (DVD)

Wings of Desire (1987). Wim Wenders won Best Director at the 1987 Cannes film festival for this vision about an angel (Bruno Ganz) who falls in love with a beautiful circus performer while drifting unnoticed through West Berlin. Overcome by the girl's beauty, the angel decides he wants to become human. Peter Falk co-stars as himself, and aids the angel in his decision-making process. At two hours plus, the movie is way too long. (In German and English, with English subtitles.) Grade: B-
