From her to eternity

Der Himmel über Berlin (Wings of desire)

(1987)
Long before Bruno Ganz was Hitler, he was an angel in Berlin, and in too-human love.

Didn't realize that Peter Handke helped write Wim Wenders's Whitman poem-cum-It's a Wonderful Life reversal. As beautiful a film as I've seen in a long, long time.
