Wings of Desire Reviews

It is definitely one of the movies that I absolutely need to re-watch at some point. Still, I remember very well the first time I saw the damned thing. Indeed, at some point, I saw ‘Paris, Texas’, I was completely blown away by the whole thing and it immediately became one of the best movies I had ever seen.  With this in mind, I was really eager to check Wim Wenders’s follow-up and since it had such a stellar reputation, I had some really high expectations. Well, to be honest, even though I did like this movie, I had actually a hard time to really care about the damned thing. I mean, sure, I was able to see that it was a real work of Art, no doubt about it, but, while I was completely swept away by ‘Paris, Texas’, this time around, I never felt  much connection with this story or the characters involved. Eventually, 10 years later, they would actually deliver a Hollywood remake which is usually considered blasphemy for all the fans of this movie but I don’t think it was so awful, at least, if you don’t try to compare it to this German classic. Anyway, to conclude, even though it didn’t really fufill my expectations, it was still a decent watch, it remains major classic and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you like the genre.
