Wings of Desire
Well, wasn’t that an odd movie. Basically nothing happens for the first hour, which you’d think would be incredibly dull, only it mostly isn’t. People talk entirely in portentous disconnected sentences, and you’d think it would be completely preposterous, only it mostly isn’t. It’s all black and white, so you’d think it’s an old movie, only it’s definitely not.
I didn’t love it, and I can’t imagine ever watching it again, but I’m glad I saw it. Yay, Netflix.
