      Its lush black and white images of angels watching over us everywhere, consoling a troubled humanity, is indelibly comforting, one of the closest things to poetry ever achieved on film.So, the question is: Is City of Angels a faithful reworking of Wings of Desire, or a misguided bastardization of it ( Read More )
    • JoBlo

    • Roger Ebert

      And then give the audience the pleasure of mentally completing the implications of that statement.By spelling it all out, the dialogue keeps the emotion on the screen, instead of allowing it to unfold in the viewers imagination. ( Read More )
    • Robert Roten

      While this film is a little more enjoyable than the original, there really wasnt any need for a remake. ( Read More )
