A short clip from the movie "Wings Of Desire". This was after a combination of two things that I saw. One being panta rhei's wonderful photo "Heaven Over Berlin" and the other from a DVD I have called "Fishing With John". Where there is a reference being made to the movie. By uttering the line "Why I am here". I've not seen the movie but hope to someday.

an interesting segment dave. i also enjoy the different flow of non american films and the risks the film makers take with cinematography.

cheers,

There are a few in this country who take the risks. Jim Jarmusch for one. I've taken noticed of his films. Here's a couple of clips from his movie "Coffee and Cigarettes".

I saw Wender´s Wings of desire long time ago. So beautiful images!!! even the german sounds soft somehow!! . But I didn´t remember the actor, he looks like Bruno Ganz? but I´m not sure...(the same that performed St Exupery, Hitler and the grandparent in the film about the pianist kid?). He´s great!!!!!!!

And I didn´t see Jarmush´s Coffee & Cigarettes yet. I´ll finish watching the clips later! Iggy Pop & Tom Waits!!!!!! wow!!!!!!! looks good!!!!

thanks, dave!!!!!!

Yes that is Bruno Ganz and "Vitus" is the film about the kid pianist. I looked it up on Wikipedia. Check out Jarmusch's other films too. I've got "Stranger Than Paradise", "Permanent Vacation" and "Down By Law". All of them are great to watch!!!!

gracias!!!!!

jarmusch's film "night on earth" is well worth checking out as well. wim wenders has been recommended to me , but i haven't checked him out yet. my personal favorite of contemporary directors is tornatore. cinema paradiso, star maker - he doesn't have a bad film and some are truly excellent.

I did see NOE a number of times. He's got a new one that he's working on right now. I hope to see it when it comes out.
