Just watched Wings of Desire at an open-air cinema.

Forgot how strange and brilliant it was, didn't realise how much better the strange swooping panning cameras would look on a big screen.

Isnt Bruno Ganz one of the angels in this?Also played Hitler in Downfall

He is.

I like "Der Himmel über Berlin" (its proper title, and I'm sure tommmmmmm saw it in German), but I actually prefer the sequel, "In weiter Ferne, so nah" ('Faraway, So Close') even though it's a strangely disjointed film with a pretty crap script (which makes very little sense and has sections that they really should have binned), as well as some dreadful 'acting', particularly from Horst Buchholz. It has a lot of simple moments that I love and that to me are more iconic than most of "Der Himmel über Berlin", which has a pretty simple story told straight. I love Otto Sander in 'Faraway, So Close' and prefer Cassiel (whose role in "Der Himmel über Berlin" is quite weak.
