Wings of Desire (1987)

This month we’re taking a nice, long, EUROPEAN VACATION and we’re weaving in and out of about six countries throughout the theme.Today’s stop is Germany but don’t expect any of that stereotypical German dryness. No, Wim Wenders has a knack for humanity and sweetness that defies the stereotype. Fassbinder displays broad emotions as well but Wenders seems like a much nicer person. Our second discussion of a Wim Wenders movie (the first discussion, PARIS TEXAS, is way back in our very first 6-pack episode, link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=gvRs2mMMNFQ ) 

Angels are in the skies and by our side in 1987 Berlin but one is curious about what it must feel like to be human. A beautiful trapeze artist becomes his biggest inspiration. Peter Falk is in this too. Playing himself. Who was once an angel. We love Peter Falk. We’re talking “WINGS OF DESIRE” from 1987 starring Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Otto Sander, Curt Bois and, yes, Peter Falk who will always add a quarter of a point to any final film score. We also have two Australian bands with one of the being Nick Cave who I haven’t listened to since 2003. We love Peter Falk.
