Plot summary

A group of angels look longingly upon the life of humans. Berlin now is a very different place: unified in name but overrun with crime, corruption, and—in what turns out to be a key theme here—Americans.

Amazing sequel of Wings of desire...it made me

Amazing sequel of Wings of desire...it made me think a lot about my own way of seeing people and, most of all, events of life! Also, it made clear how hard it really is to be a human being, to exist! Definetely is a must see!!

Been a long time, but even if the plot is not good, I think that some of this film's beautiful scenes are lodged forever in my memory. Worth seeing, just like Wings of Desire, some of Tom Tywer, Haneke, and Lars von Trier.

Dennis Schwartz's professional review really nails the major

Dennis Schwartz's professional review really nails the major flaws of this misshapen film that was better left unmade. I will only attempt to add what he left out. First, only Cassiel's character is (literally) fleshed out in this story line that thrashed about like a fish on land struggling for air. Peter Falk and Marion add nothing but a reminder of what is missing from the superb original. Daniel is tragi-comic as a bicycle peddling pizza joint operator. William Defoe's character is so sinister that I believed he was in league with the devil, not a supervising angel. Nastassja Kinski is still lovely (though not in her younger, stunning way), but has no other genuine presence beyond the visual "ahhhh" whenever she appears on screen. Lou Reed is a poor replacement for Nick Cave, as he seems to wander through Berlin without interest or purpose, even ruining his masterpiece concept Berlin album with an inept change in lyrics). The use of the criminal element to eventually lead to Cassie's ending is totally forced; arms dealing and pornography are mere window dressing with no sense of moral outrage leading to the final plotline. The magical shifts from black and white to color in the original are overused here to the point of distraction, losing all sense of directorial purpose. This sloppy mess is stitched together with the smoothness of Frankenstein's fiend, and its brain is just as abnormal. TO those who loved the original, I advise NOT watching this. I wish I hadn't because once viewed, it cannot be unseen.
