I've been avoiding Wim Wenders for quite some time, I had a disappointing experience when I was about 20, say no more.
Wonderful, crisp photography, very active camera motions, beautifully shot. This film is every bit as introspective as expected from one of this director's films.
We get to see the world through the eyes of some Angels, as the catalog and document what we are doing and thinking presumably saving this information for Judgment Day. And, typical of Angel films, one of these angels besides the defendant with immortality and standoffishness of his position in life. He wants to become mortal, and live life to its fullest, enjoying every nuance of daily life. Et aussie cherchez la femme.
The only uncomfortable thing about the film was some of the vocalizations or choral passages, which I suspect were by Laurie Anderson.
I believe this is one of the trilogy of films, and I look forward to the sequels.
