Summary: Another Wim Wenders Home Run
Review: One of Wneders better efforts, I would call this more of a companion to rather than a sequel to "Wings of Desire". Overall, I think "Wings of Desire" was a better movie, it seems as though Wenders was trying to be a little more mainstream in this film, but nonetheless, an excellent film in the same veign as "Wings of Desire". I think it would have been that much better if he hadn't spent so much time on the character who was an arms dealer and the angels attempts to thwart his operation. This section of the movie came off as a mad cap adventure, and was not true to the overall tone and message of the film. But perhaps Wenders was trying to interject some levity in this film, he is known to be a bit heavy-handed in his other efforts.I would not necessarily say that one MUST see "Wings of Desire" to enjoy this film, but it would sure help, as that film sets up much the character development for "Far Away, So Close" Both films are insightful, well written, thought-provoking, well acted, and have great cinematography. Most highly recommended.

Summary: Peter Hanke--for once sorely missed. . . .
Review: Peter Hanke--an early challenger to the Group 47's lock on post-war German literature--was sorely missed in the sequel to Wings of Desire. Hanke helped Wenders produce a script in Wings of Desire that did the best job anyone could have done in bottling the mystery of pre-unification Berlin. However, Far Away... is a Wessi/Ami comic book in comparison. Once we get over the pleasant surprise of Otto Sander's wildman character (in Wings... he was just a dutiful angel), we're left with Wenders' inconsistant script. He definitely did not do the reunified Berlin the favor he did the "old" Berlin.

Summary: Void of meaning; boring enough to put you to sleep
Review: Starts out great, then descends into a horrifying hell of boredom and ambiguity and mixed up wastelands of celluloid. There was no point to this movie and it literally put me out; yep, it put me to sleep. I thought the beginning looked promising but then it turned into one of the most enigmatic wastes of time I have ever watched.

Summary: For those of you who haven't already, watch this film!!
Review: Stunning. The cinematography, the direction, the story, everything. This is my favourtie movie ever, maybe because I've never seen the prequel, Wings of Desire. I really love Peter Falk in this, although he was the last person I ever expected to see in here. I cannot recommend another film more highly than this!!!

Summary: One of my all-time favorites
Review: Subtle, philosophical, yet fun. Peter Falk and Michail Gorbachev (yes, him) appear for brief moments. A welcome relief from the likes of Titanic.

Summary: i love this movie but...
Review: the dvd version lacks a scene! (as far as i notice) just before the end, when the circus people retake the ship.

Summary: Far away, so close! was the best movie I've ever seen
Review: The location, the music, and the languages added to the movie's already increadable experience. If you havn't seen this movie... you must!
