So close no matter how far...
Wings of Desire by Win Wenders*:
in the movie wings of desire the Angels can hear the thoughts of man and trough of them can we. A wonderful idea traumtic as intensely as sweet as painful spy WinWenders leaves us with a couple of angels who wander through the streets of Berlin (even with wall) and the result can be devastating. As a heart surgeon opens the chest of the common man, the lonely, the woman who wants to be loved, the man with no economic resources, etc.
The times from the handles Wenders road movie, wide as a road that begins and ends on the horizon in its reflection. The movement of a camera that soars above the bustling streets of the city knows no vertigo, nor angels. In fact, not know the color or the pleasure of touch, nor be observed. Are visible only in the eyes of their peers. Unearthly souls, wandering and always ready to receive the inner voice of the man who expects what never will come or reading a book in the library public.
Henri Alekan photography is simply magnificent. Trying to capture the expertise we do not know, resulting in fruitless and errtico movement but at least you have outstanding talent. The music that plays here a fundamental role, leaves a mark on the film as deep as in our memories.
Simply a superb film and necessary....
