About
You can stream Wings of Desire (1987) on Max with a subscription.
Two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, glide through the streets of Berlin, observing the bustling population, providing invisible rays of hope to the distressed but never interacting with them. When Damiel falls in love with lonely trapeze artist Marion, the angel longs to experience life in the physical world, and finds — with some words of wisdom from actor Peter Falk — that it might be possible for him to take human form.
Damiel trades his eternal, detached perspective for the heavy, sensory rush of human touch and mortality. This monochrome dreamscape captures the quiet ache of being a silent witness to the beautiful chaos of Berlin.
