4.0 out of 5 stars ENTERTAINING ANGELS... July 29 2003
By Robin Simmons
Format:DVD
"Do not forget to entertain strangers, for some people have entertained angels without knowing it." Hebrews 13:2

The world's three great religions incorporate angels as real, created entities, messengers between the world of mortals and God. And movies about angels, both good and bad, will always be messengers of film entertainment. Here's a new to DVD title about a good angel that's worthy of your time.

FAR AWAY, SO CLOSE! is the flip side to "Wings of Desire." Here, instead of desiring to be flesh and blood, the angel seeks to understand why humans have such a hard time experiencing the spiritual. These two films, taken together, offer a stunning and profoundly moving picture of the bittersweet, paradoxical and all-too-brief human experience. Both are of the highest order of mature filmmaking: intelligent, emotional, and visually stunning. They provide a memorable, meaningful and authentic experience about life's deepest mysteries. We are indeed spiritual beings having a human experience.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price for the director's commentary alone Feb 13 2001
By A Customer
Format:DVD
Although I'd already seen the movie when it was released on VHS some years ago, I purchased this DVD because of the blurb on the back cover mentioning that it contained "Director Wim Wenders' Audio Commentary." It turned out to be just that: Wender's commentary overlaid throughout the full length of the movie. It was like being in the theater with Wender's sitting next to me, explaining every scene and regaling the listener with anecdotes about the movie, its actors, and his experiences as a director. It would be wonderful if more directors did this sort of thing; a feature uniquely suited to DVD's.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stay Faraway Jan 29 2011
By toronto
Format:DVD
Awful film, a total travesty. "Wings of Desire is one of the great films of the 20th century. This is one of the worst. You can hardly believe it is from the same director. A true stinker. Fly from this, take wing......

Starts out great, then descends into a horrifying hell of boredom and ambiguity and mixed up wastelands of celluloid. Read more

3.0 out of 5 stars i love this movie but...
the dvd version lacks a scene! (as far as i notice) just before the end, when the circus people retake the ship.

5.0 out of 5 stars SEEKING MEANING
More than sex, food or survival, we are creatures driven to find meaning in our lives (or so it's said by those who claim to know such things). Read more

One of Wneders better efforts, I would call this more of a companion to rather than a sequel to "Wings of Desire". Read more

If you liked "Beautiful Mind" so don't even think about to read this. OK, it's dense. But it's quite fine and useful for further analysis. Read more
