Really enjoyed seeing the angels and their compassion for the human experience....the movie is beautifully filmed and leaves you with a sense of peace that perhaps there are angels out there with a hand on our shoulders to comfort us. For people who don't have the patience to view a film with subtitles---you don't know what you're missing!

An all-time favorite movie that I've revisited years later. I find it even more beautiful and moving than I did back in the late 80s, when I first saw Bruno Ganz. Wonderful actor, especially in the role of an angel who yearns to turn into a mortal being. Disk 2 features an extended conversation with Wim Wenders and his talented team, who developed this unforgettable story and the cinematography and music to go along with it.

The title says it all..this piece of garbage is nothing more than pretentious BS! How this lame excuse for a movie is held in such high regard is a mystery to me. Watch at your own risk.

Rented this because I thought it would be the superior version of City of God. But it seemed like this film tried to be deep/poetic/philosophical with every line of dialogue. I quit the movie about halfway through, when it looked like the main storyline was about to gain momentum, but then they cut to a secondary character for some more random musing. The plot was in slow motion and its attempts at commenting on all of creation were detrimental to actually telling a meaningful story.
