		A Czech film explores human cruely and the possibility of forgiveness.
		With a decadent sensuality, The Wings of the Dovereaches for the galleries.
		Burnt by the Sun is a remarkable film with one large flaw -- it sentimentalizes Stalinism.

	Wings of Desire / Wim Wenders - The Official Site
		The sky over Wenders' war-scarred Berlin is full of gentle, trenchcoated angels who listen to the tortured thoughts of mortals and try to comfort them.
		Told from the angel's point of view, the film is shot in fl and white, blossoming into color only when the angels perceive the realities of humankind.

	Daredevil & Wings Of Desire
		In fact, I count half-a-dozen plots and sub-plots in a 100-minute film; that's less than twenty minutes of footage for each story, and while there's plenty of action to be had, these constraints obviously leave precious little room for characterization and emotional drama.
		In the film's most touching scene between Matt and Elektra, he asks her to stand in the rain so he can "see" her when the sound of raindrops hitting her skin creates an image of her in his mind's eye.
		Wings Of Desire affirms what Daredevil avoids -- the essence of humanity -- and for that reason it is a more stirring and profound work of art, captivating in the same sense as beautiful literature or a fine piece of music.

	Der Himmel Über Berlin
		On one level, Wings of Desire's plot outline could be seen as the purest Hollywood-style claptrap: an angel falls in love with a mortal woman—a trapeze artist, no less!—and trades in his wings to be with her.
		Indeed, the film now serves as a document of those last years before the Wall came down, when Potsdamer Platz was still a no-man's-land of the most forlorn bleakness, yet graffiti on the Western side of the Wall was making political/aesthetic statements of protest and renewal.
		A number of critics have argued that the film falls into a very traditional male—or male filmmaker's—perspective, regardless of whether Marion is a woman, Woman in the abstract, or "earthly delights"; put most simply, the angels and Wenders' camera are voyeurs, most obviously when Damiel watches Marion undress in her room.

	Ningen no Tsubasa (Wings of a Man)
		The filming in fl-and-white and the insertion of film clips of actual events such as the Tokyo bombing give the movie an atmosphere of realism.
		Wings of a Man is a movie "commemorating the 50th year of the end of the Pacific War and the realization of true peace and prosperity."
		Although this clear depiction of good and evil may give children and adults role models to follow, the movie's romantic portrayal of Shinichi and his wife, family, and friends may not allow insight to difficulties faced by some kamikaze pilots and their families.

	Wings of Desire (1987) (Deep Focus Movie Reviews + Weblog)
		I saw it in the company of friends and friends-to-be and was taken by the film's unique meditative warmth, its subcurrent of angst and dissatisfaction, and, perhaps most of all, its audacity.
		The upbeat resolution is perhaps uncharacteristic of Wenders' films, and it is therefore indicative of his great feelings of optimism where his divided homeland is concerned.
		Because much of the film is in color, prints needed to be made on color film stock — thus the unintentional bluish tint of theatrical prints, and the older video versions that were made from them.

	EUFS: Wings of Desire
		Wings of Desire was made in 1987, before the fall of the Berlin Wall, and the feeling of division is one that permeates the film.
		Filmed, for the most part, in fantastic fl and white, the film tells the tale of the people of Berlin and the angels (in trenchcoats) who observe and comfort them.
		The first thing you notice about Wings of Desire is how well photographed it is. The camera gently glides and swoops, creating an incredibly hypnotic (and I don't mean boring) cinematic experience which is obviously in total harmony with the subject of the film.

	Meridian Magazine :: Arts : Roots and Wings: A Different Cinematic Angle on Missionary Work
		The film is so natural and real, the emotions so raw, that it is stunning to realize that Vuissa shot this film as a student at BYU.
		Since it is a short film, it has not been released in theaters and has not received wide distribution yet, although it is available on video.
		All of the retailers that I am aware of that carry the film at this time have completely sold out with a waiting list of back orders, so you might have some difficulty finding a copy, but this excellent film is well worth the effort, even if you have to wait a while.

	erasing clouds film review: wings of desire
		This film’s definite highlight is the gorgeous photography from Henri Alekan, who had worked in the industry since the early 1930s.
		It takes a short while for the film to grab you, but once it happens, the images will remain in your mind for a long time.
		Wings of Desire is the type of film that I expect to have an even stronger impact on repeated viewings.

		I want to explore how films have the capacity to address some of the key issues which academic philosophy has been grappling with for centuries, and opens these questions up in new ways to the billions of people who are exposed to this technology.
		As Wings of Desire was filmed in 1986, just a couple of years prior to the fall of the Berlin Wall and a divided Berlin, angels and the camera keep returning to the wall, giving us one of the strongest modern images we have to describe the divided (German) soul.
		Film goers regularly accomplish what many philosophical theories wrestle with and are defeated by and this rehearsal of their powers is a source of great pleasure; the human capacity to model the world and to play at modelling possible worlds.

	Gerald Peary - film reviews - Wings of Hope
		Wings of Hope (1999), flies back in time to show how frighteningly close Herzog came to not making Aguirre or any of his wonderful movies, including this luminous work.
		For Wings of Hope, Herzog decided to relive his trauma of that fateful 1971 night by locating Koepke, having her tell her extraordinary story, and asking her to recreate her trek back to civilization, seventeen years after.
		By the time Wings of Hope has concluded, Koepke has moved into a pantheon as a super-hero, whose survival in the jungle was as shrewd and enterprising, and as courageous, as a Robinson Crusoe.

	Wings of Desire (1987)- Moria The Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Review
		Wenders calls his films from the 1970s ‘road movies’ but they are less road movies in the traditional cinematic sense – a picaresque series of adventures and oddball encounters – than they are films absorbed by the sense of existential discovery that the road movie embodies.
		One of the single loveliest shots in the entire film is the one which pans through a library where we subtly become aware that all around the angels are sitting in amongst the ordinary patrons unobtrusively observing.
		The film was later remade as a glossy Hollywood romance City of Angels (1998).

		Short Synopsis BROKEN WINGS is an intimate, painful and at times humorous tale about a family in emotional and financial turmoil after the absurdly accidental death of the father.
		The film tells the story of a family trying to pick up the pieces of their life after the death of the father in absurd circumstances leaves them estranged from each other in their grief.
		Broken Wings is a realistic drama which is much more than a mere description of reality because it is so precise in detail and because it creates living, individualized characters and observes them lovingly.

	ARTicles: Falling into the World
		But the most important walls that alienate and estrange individuals in Wings of Desire are imaginative and emotional – the personal barriers and boundaries that individuals erect around themselves that separate parent from child, husband from wife, boyfriend from girlfriend, and individuals from their own more hopeful selves.
		It is no coincidence that the film’s angels use the library as a kind of headquarters and rendezvous point, since the flights of imagination that writers and readers embark on there are the earthly equivalent of what the angels themselves do as spiritual observers.
		As a line in the film’s dialogue comically formulates her in-between position, Marion may play an angel in her trapeze act, but she is an angel with chicken-feather wings.

	Wings of Desire
		Filmed in 1989, "Wings of Desire" takes place in Berlin after the destruction of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany.
		He yearns for weight and substance, deciding finally to trade his wings and eternal existence to experience physical pain, and the feel of a human body.
		Wenders himself, however, states that he is not displeased with the film, giving it more credit than music videos and other films that have directly taken scenes or ideas from the film (among them R.E.M.’s video for "Everybody Hurts").

	Wings Film Review - The Oscar Guy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-17)
		Wings tells the story of a fighter pilot in The Great War and the many loves and losses he experiences while fighting for his country.
		Wings is one of only three films in Academy history to suffer such a feat (Grand Hotel and Driving Miss Daisy are the other two).
		During one scene, as soldiers are marching off in the lower foreground, with the sky as its background, several images of war are exposed over the film to create an intriguing effect.

		When she meets Damiel at the end of the film, it is revealing that the first words out of her mouth are, “It’s finally getting serious.” Instead of that sense of whimsy, she has met the man she knows to be the right one, the only possible one!
		The idea of filming the perspective of the angels in blue-tinted monochrome while splashing the perceptions of the human characters with the full gaudy color spectrum proved a nifty way of emphasizing what full sensuality has to offer.
		This film is one of the most fascinating ever produced in the boldness of what it attempts.

		The film never descends to cloying melodrama thanks in great part to the phenomenal talents of a mostly young cast, and an utterly believable, hyper-realistic atmosphere created by Bergman, who makes it all look so easy.
		The film follows her and her four children as they attempt to cope with loss in their own freaked-out ways.
		This film has nothing to do with 'the conflict', with politics, with religion, with war - it shows that life in Israel, and film in Israel, can sometimes be just about life in Israel and film in israel.

	Slant Magazine - Film Review: Only Angels Have Wings
		In Hawks' films, the Group is often insulated and tightly knit, but his characters are generally not displaced from their original environment, culturally or geographically, as they are in Only Angels Have Wings.
		On an intuitive level, Hawks is acting as an armchair sociologist, and he documents the efforts of (and effects on) the film's central group to consciously erect new ways of dealing with the patterns of loss and grief that their adopted environments force upon them.
		Late in the film we see a startlingly similar composition with reversed meaning—not long after the death of his best friend, Geoff sits alone in his office at a table, grief-stricken, with a lamp overhead.
