<\/h2>\n<\/h2>\n| 1987 \u2013 130\u2032 \u2013 A Germany\/France Co-Production. Fantasy, Classic, Co-produced by France. Wings of Desire is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz stars as an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin Wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images forever made the name of director Wim Wenders synonymous with film art.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n WINGS OF DESIRE | 1987 \u2013 130\u2032 \u2013 A Germany\/France Co-Production.
