On 28 April, citizens of Sarajevo will have the opportunity to see the last film of the program ”Sky Over Germany” which presented several German films. This time, fans of good film will enjoy a masterpiece by Rainer Werner Fassbinder called ”Wings of Desire”.
The film is about invisible, immortal angels who populate Berlin and listen to the thoughts of the human inhabitants and comfort those who are in distress. Even though the city is densely populated, many of the people are isolated and estranged from their loved ones. One of the angels, played by Bruno Ganz, falls in love with a beautiful, lonely trapeze artist. The angel chooses to become human so that he can experience the human sensory pleasures, ranging from enjoying food to touching a loved one, and so that he can experience human love with the trapeze artist. The film is shot in both a rich, sepia-toned black-and-white and colour, with the former being used to represent the world as experienced by the angels.
”Wings of Desire” will be shown in Meeting Point Cinema at 8 p.m. and the entrance is free for all.
