A group of angels in the German capital look longingly upon the life of humans.
A typical Wenders product, one step down from Der Himmel über Berlin:
beautiful cinematography and a few brilliant moments, but the tale is
full of pretensions and indigestive sentimentality and the performances
are variable (although Otto Sanders is excellent).
Halliwell*: "A bungled and often sentimental sequel to Wings of Desire which suddenly switches into a confused thriller about arms dealing; it does have some superlative moments, but not enough."
Maltin**1/2: "The perfect Wenders cast (if not the perfect Wenders
movie)...Lighter going than its predecessor, but also more lightweight;
it's still a borderline ordeal in the beginning and final segments..."
