Fancy Movie Time #17: Wings of Desire (1987)
On this episode of Fancy Movie Time with Brian and A.J., the fancy lads strap on their wings and fly headlong into the rabbit-infested no-man's land between East and West Berlin as they cover Wim Wenders' treatise on the meaning of life and the sexiness of trapeze: Wings of Desire (1987). Does the film's timeless feel and incredible use of Peter Falk make it a Fancy Feast? Or does its verbose dialogue and meandering narrative make it a Failure to Fancy? One thing's for sure, Brian and A.J. are absolutely going to practice their German.

As of the 76th Berlin International Film Festival, Wim Wenders is dead to me.
I was just thinking about the american Meg Ryan/Nick Cage remake of this for some reason. Timely episode
Brain, your German pronunciation is SO good.
Fucking hell! Now I have that GooGoo Dolls song stuck in my head.
Please keep "That's no good" on this, and all Cool Voltaire related soundboards. 🙏
Berlin: become human
I literally watched this for the first time on Sunday with a friend who says this is their favorite movie. I can't wait to listen to this. What fancy feast
