Der Himmel über Berlin (1987)
yep, here's the best movie I saw in my life.
This is an absolute stunning beauty of a movie. The dialogue, the writings of Peter Handke, are of a profoundness that is to be found in philosophy of the likes of Walter Benjamin. The movie and camera art of Wim Wenders is unique. The actors give a great performance and are all wonderful to look at. The way the movie is filmed, how you can hear all people think when the angels walk by, and the how and why this angel falls in love with the girl and being human really made me feel how great it is to be human yourself. Although the story is ageless, it is a beautiful time document of the Berlin of the 80's. Great to see how they walk into a Nick Cave concert in some 'underground concert hall' at the end of the movie. All in all I'd recommend to see this one. That is, if you can stand the slow pace of the movie and can keep attention to the dialogue at the same time.
