The TVI Take
An angel observing postwar Berlin falls in love with a trapeze artist. Wim Wenders's film is formally extraordinary — the black-and-white/color contrast and Bruno Ganz's performance as Damiel are both exceptional.
Educational about the divided Berlin and the philosophy of incarnation. One of cinema's most formally beautiful films.
