Wings of Desire cover

A valentine to the city of Berlin from director Wim Wenders, told in a stunning tapestry of sounds and images—now on 4K UHD

Angel

Swing

Fallen

Product Description

Wings of Desire is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts—fears, hopes, dreams—of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, forever made the name of director Wim Wenders synonymous with film art.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Film, now presented as it was always intended!
    Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2025
    Verified Purchase
    That is this movie is both inspired and groundbreaking is already well established, so I'm not going to spend much time reviewing the movie itself. I saw it multiple times in the theater in the 80s/90s, and then a few times since on DVD. It never fails to create a sense of wonder, awe, and dare I say: hope for the world...

    What sets this 4K UHD edition apart isn't just the greater resolution: the B&W portions (most of the film) are now cleaner and closer to the original negative than ever before! This is because at the time of the theatrical release, it wasn't feasible to create reels of mixed color and B&W, such that all the B&W footage was actually printed to color film, thereby added two more "steps" between the negatives. However, that's not an issue with a digital scan and Criterion took the time and expense to track down a clean archival B&W negative!

    To be sure, the film always looked "good" back during the theatrical release, but tonality was decidedly soft, and often lacked the kind of sharp contrast you'd expect from traditional B&W photography. This version is now what the cinematographer always intended it to look like (from previous interviews), and it's that much MORE beautiful than it was in the past.

    This has been my favorite movie for decades. Nothing comes close. The folks at Criterion have made this edition the one to get as it has fabulous extras and the restoration is so lush, it's a worthy edition to your dvd library. I could watch Bruno Ganz in anything (and I probably have) but his fallen angel, Damiel, is sublime. Just get it.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Thought provoking if it doesn't put you to sleep
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2013

    While "Wings of Desire" is a genuine work of art, gently crafted, well conceived, beautifully acted - it's slower than molasses on a cold day, and if you're an impatient viewer who quickly grasps the concept of omnipresent angels, you'll be ready for the love story to begin long before it does. I've reviewed "City of Angels", the rather pathetic knockoff of "Wings of Desire" with little of the comprehension or uniqueness, and suggest you not waste your viewing time on the former but sit back, relax and revel in the grace and beauty of the latter. Bruno Ganz was gorgeous then; the acrobatic object of his affection is believable, and I'd fall in love with her myself if I was a man or an immortal. The world of angels which co-exists with our natural world is pokey as hell to watch, but then eternity is probably pretty dull on a day-to-day basis as well. I can't honestly say I loved this film, but it is pretty fascinating.

    Wim Wender's masterpiece and one of the best films ever made. What enhanced the experience were the Extras of the DVD which the Criterion Collection do so well and can be proud of. I have been waiting for Criterion to add this film to their collection.

    The audio commentary featuring Wim Wenders and Peter Falk was excellent as too was the documentary "The Angels Among Us". This DVD holds pride of place among my DVDs.
