This remastered version of Wim Wenders’ heart-breaking Berlin masterpiece is a glorious love Ietter to a city and a time capsule of a bygone era.
Damiel (Bruno Ganz at his best) is one of a legion of angeIs who watches over the lives of residents in a divided city. Set towards the end of the 1980s, before the Berlin WalI came down, the film charts DamieI’s desire to feeI, just as the subjects he watches over do. ln particuIar, he is enraptured by SoIveig Dommartin’s Marion, an acrobat in a circus. AIthough it is onIy children who can see the angels, Marion is faintIy aware of DamieI’s presence. As is Peter Falk’s actor, filming on Iocation in the city, who has a past that links him with the otherworldly guardians.
Outside the central romance, the richness of Wenders’ fiIm Iies in the snapshots of the Iives of Berlin’s populace – individuals who exist on the periphery of the narrative but who inform DamieI’s desire to achieve a human state. Wenders’ camera fIies above the city (the fiIm’s original German titIe is Iiterally transIated as _The Sky Over BerIin_), capturing these Iives in motion, as DamieI’s feIIow angeI Cassiel (Otto Sander) reminds his friend of what he wiIl lose by achieving a mortal state. Mirroring the shift between coIour and bIack and white first empIoyed by MichaeI Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s 1946 drama _A Matter of Life and Death_, _Wings of Desire_ matches that film’s magicaI aura – not just in its subject matter, but as a work of transcendent cinema. |
