Trailer: Wings of Desire

"Few modern films have made the transition to classic status as quickly as Wim Wenders’s Wings of Desire," Leigh Singer noted in 2016 for the British Film Institute. Set in pre-unification Berlin and widely praised as one of the best films of the 1980s, this indescribably lovely reflection on life, death, and the mundane and beautiful things that span between them centers on an angel who becomes transfixed by a human trapeze artist, and features appearances by film and TV legend Peter Falk and music icon Nick Cave as themselves. A new 4K restoration screens at the Wex Thursday and Friday, December 13-14. Check out the trailer below.
