Wings of Desire

My second film of 2009 was Wim Wenders' 1987 modern classic WINGS OF DESIRE (released in the U.S. in 1988 and remade 10 yrs later as City of Angels).  The first hour of the movie feels like a waking dream and to be honest, I was in and out of consciousness while watching.  It's not boring, but it's certainly contemplative, philosophical and all those other things that make civilians tired.  I suspect my trancelike state is a fairly typical response and it made for a very interesting experience.  Looking forward to seeing this film on a bigger screen. It's a pretty gorgeous film.
