Wings of Desire

THERE ARE ANGELS ON THE STREETS OF BERLIN.

Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds -- with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk -- that it might be possible for him to take human form.

  • Davina Powers
    Visually stunning but lacked a compelling storyline. The movie was more style than substance.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.

  • Nico Hamilton
    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
