Hi,

Many people accuse Wim Wenders' "Wings of Desire" as being too ponderous and "Germanic." I think it is beautiful from its cinematography to its philosophical meditations.

My favorite interpretation of it is that it is a film dealing with our struggles balancing contemporary detachment and the need for sentimentality. But...there are tons of other compatible interpretations ranging from it being a study of the post-war German psyche to a study of the inevitable Americanization of Europe to it being a male-fantasy of domination and subjugation.

Hey...its a great film.
