#66 - Wings of Desire (1987, Wim Wenders)

Some of the most amazing camerawork I've ever seen on this film. Somebody put in overtime on the helicopter cam on this one. Sweeping through Berlin in glorious sepia-tone, Wings of Desire is a glorious visual feast.

But oh man, this movie is corny! Now I'm not the type to disparage a film over Christian/spiritual themes - I LOVE all those boring, spiritual crisis films by Bresson, Dreyer, Tarkovsky, Bergman. I think I just kind of draw the line at angels. Sorry, just can't take them seriously. We're moving into QVC collectible-plate territory here. I dunno, I could very easily see myself grow to love this film but for now, nah.
