Wim Wenders‘ 1987 Berlin-set philosophical meditation-cum-romance in which an angel charged with overseeing human activity falls in love with a mortal. As so often with Wenders, you need a taste for his particular vision to get wrapped up in this, but for evidence of his mastery of the meditative and poetic look no further than the disastrous, sugary US remake, City of Angels, with Nic Cage and Meg Ryan.
It’s back on screen in the Watershed’s January Sunday brunch All the Stage’s a World season of films chosen by Wise Children’s Emma Rice.
