Screen Out Loud - Lagos

Showing this Saturday, November 15: WINGS OF DESIRE, a French-German co-production directed by Wim Wenders.
For our last screening this year, we are excited to show a cult classic from iconic German filmmaker Wim Wenders. In Wings of Desire, Wenders deploys a stellar cast (including Bruno Ganz, Peter Falk, Solveig Dommartin and Otto Sander) in a grey, colourless world. The angels view the world in black and white while offering comfort to troubled humans. Everything changes for one of the guardian angels – Damiel — when he falls in love and longs to be human.
Don’t be told what happens next!

ABOUT THE FILM
WINGS OF DESIRE marked Wenders’ “homecoming” and was his first German film after eight years in America. The main characters are guardian angels—benevolent, invisible beings in trench coats—who listen to the thoughts of mortals and attempt to comfort them. One of them, Damiel (Bruno Ganz), wishes to become human after he falls in love with the beautiful trapeze artist Marion (Solveig Dommartin). [...] The film has achieved cult status all around the world; in 1998, it was remade under the title CITY OF ANGELS, which features Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan in the lead roles.
