i've watched quite a few movies about angels and other other worldly beings and i really believe that this movie captures what i think real angels would be like(i leave my mind open to the idea of angels-i don't get into that discussion). i think that angels if they do exist would kind of be the way they are shown in this movie, kind of watchers that only make their themselves known in very subtle ways,gently guiding certain chosen people, but never forcing themselves on anyone,giving comfort and advice to those truly in need and willing to open their minds and spirits to them. this movie is about one angel who is tired of his existence living only in pretense and really wants to experience being human and after he falls for a human female decides to take the plunge as the character says. if you decide to purchase this criterion edition(which i highly recommend)you will also have access to many fine extra features which if you watch them after the movie will really,i believe,increase your enjoyment of this movie. i have watched this movie several times and get more and more enjoyment everytime. do yourself a favor and purchase this criterion edition its wonderful!Read full review
I have loved this movie ever since I first watched it in college. I was kinda disappointed when I got the VHS copy because I thought I was going to wear it out. But was glad to see that it was released under Criterion Collection. Every time I have recommended this movie or lent it to someone to watch they always return with the same comment, they liked City of Angels better. Even though City of Angels was loosely based on Wings of Desire they are very different movies. This movie is basically a poem captured on camera. The visuals and the dialog play against each other so well that I wouldn't ever change a thing. It does not play up to the Hollywood stereotype. It challenges it.
watched this movie years ago and it was reproduced in Hollywood about seven years ago. Was glad to be able to get the original.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Got the Wings of Desire, Blu-ray Criterion collection as a Christmas gift for my wife. This was a favorite of here when we were dating. I scored big! Great product, great price.
Criterion collection blu-ray, going back to watch classic movies that were before my time in glorious restored perfection.
