Perhaps seeing this on big screen/good conditions helps a lot


It's been many years now since I've seen WINGS OF DESIRE, but I loved it from the first viewing, and have seen it a couple of times since. I saw it first around the time it was originally released in the USA. Saw it in a lovely, smallish cinema in a museum. I can't help but think seeing the movie on a small screen, computer or such, could make someone much less likely to fall under its spell. Of course, many folks just won't like it in any case (nothing pleases everyone). I think it also resonated with me because I'd lived in West Berlin for a bit over three years beginning in 1979, so this stirred memories and impressions from that rich, exciting time in the city.





Just make a movie that makes me care, one way or another. I'm open.
