I bought the DVD on the strength of a review that I had read. It was a bit slow and dark. Possibly that is how it was meant to be and I understand that that parts were deliberately shot in black and white. It may be a very good "arty" film but it was just not what I was looking for. Maybe if I watch it another time I may like it better.

A fascinating look at post war Berlin and the affect it had on it's inhabitants. The American version couldn't touch it at all. And a song from Nick Cave makes it a great movie to watch and remember.

Incredible film, full of imagery and visual appeal. When I first was told about this film (in European Film Class), I honestly thought as it was subtitled and German it would be too arty and hard to understand, I know what a fool I am! I would recommend anyone to watch this, if you have seen the American version City of Angels you will honestly wonder why they tried to improve this original version. Enjoy watching!
What i liked most about the film was the Berlin landscape. For me it was a trip down memory lane of living there in the 60/70's for a few years. It captures the mood of the location totally. The other thing so remarkable about this film is the way in which the constant listening in to the thoughts of the people everywhere is very demanding. This slows down the action to a mesmerisingly slow pace. Something which was totally sacrificed in the Hollywood version. No schmalzy love story, but a very deeply moving look at the desire of one eternal being to become mortal. Wonderful role for Peter Falk as well as the american filmstar palying himself....just watch it and enjoy it.....Although the subtitles sometimes dont translate the subtelties of the dialogue very well but the overall mood is getting through all right.Vollständige Rezension lesen
