Although not really explicitly a holiday movie, Wim Wenders' wonderful Wings of Desire-about angels who listen in and comfort the unknowing citizens of Berlin which causes one to want to become to human to really participate in the world-feels like one.
Beautifully shot in 35mm black and white by Henri Alekan and starring the always powerful Bruno Ganz, Wings of Desire feels singular in Wenders' body of work. There's really no other movie. . .ever. . .that feels quite like it.
We float through the city with Damiel (Ganz) peering in on the private lives of Germans living in a still-divided Berlin (by the wall just about to fall) until he chances upon a trapeze artist, falls in love, and begins to actively work to find a way to become human and. . .come down to earth to participate.
There are so many amazing movies that were great art house or indie cinema hits of their time that desperately need to get back out there so folks can re-discover them. This is one. One of the key and seminal movies of the 1980's. It also features a hilarious supporting performance by Peter Falk. . .as himself. . .who has a secret to reveal to the angels.
Join us for a holiday treat that just might fill you up with the sense of wonder and love and awe it is just to be human and alive for whatever time the universe allots us.
On a beautiful 35mm print!
Best always,
