Movie Reviews of Faraway, So Close!
Movie Review: "Far away, So Close!" Is not a sequel to "Wings of Desire."
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie has the same director, same characters, same formula, and the same feel. Yet it is different and maybe even superior in different ways to "Wings of Desire." However it does start off awfully slow paced and you're not sure where they're trying to go. It also takes a little bit of time of getting used to the characters switching from English to German and German to English on a whim. Sometimes this movie has the feeling that is designed to promote out of work actors. We see Peter Falk even getting to play Columbo. Nastassja Kinski, as Raphaela, was always a good actor. In this film, she excels and with a little age looks even better. A great antagonist in this film is Willem Dafoe as Emit Flesti; he almost makes you want to be the bad guy.
Movie based on:
"The light of the body is the eye.
If, therefore, thine eye be clear, the whole body shall be full of light.
But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness."
(Matthew, VI, 22)
Our story takes place in post-Cold War Berlin in an area that is known is no man's land. Cassiel (Otto Sander) is frustrated as being an angel (an angle is nothing but the messenger) he can influence but not directly the nature of people. He crosses the line into reality to save the life of a fallen girl. This is where the adventure really begins as he must learn to see humans from a human perspective. In the process, he still knows right from wrong and must struggle to maintain the right. We suffer and triumph with him as he meets up once more with all the characters that he tried to interact with as an Angel. Will he be able to survive against evil?
