AND NINE OTHER INTERNATIONAL FILM AWARDS

A soaring vision that appeals to the senses and the spirit... closer to poetry and music than linear storytelling... Wings of Desire is one of the best films you'll ever see.

TIME OUT (UK) says...
Full of astonishingly hypnotic images managing effortlessly to turn a poetic, literary script into pure cinematic expression... Masterpiece? Maybe not, but few films are so rich, so intriguing or so ambitious.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER says...

One of the few truly great movies to come out of the Eighties... A remarkably dimensional portrait of spiritual resonance, from the supernatural activities of the angels to the down to earth feel of the city, the times and human relationships... Like an angel, if you try to put your finger on why it works, there's nothing there, but if you let go and absorb the movie as a whole, it's a profound experience.

THE DESERET NEWS (SALT LAKE CITY) says...
Like no film you've ever seen... At once mesmerizing and perplexing, this is a film about love and despair and the choice mortals have in dealing with each... Fascinating in many ways and warm... It's so artistic, graceful, gentle and hopeful that - to borrow a literary phrase - you can't put it down...
