PARADISE THEATRE presents WINGS OF DESIRE

"What is it about peace that its inspiration is not enduring? Why is its story so hard to tell?"

THIS FEBRUARY- We're calling all Valentines to join us in Paradise for love stories that will take you to another dimension... The Paradise Presents: LOVE AFTER LIFE- six films that explore the existential matters of love beyond earthly existence.

THERE ARE ANGELS ON THE STREETS OF BERLIN. Our series continues with Wim Wenders' German epic effortlessly melding the afterlife and the streets of Berlin. Join us on February 19th for the 4K restoration of 1987's WINGS OF DESIRE.

"Wings of Desire" is one of cinema’s loveliest city symphonies. Bruno Ganz is Damiel, an angel perched atop buildings high over Berlin who can hear the thoughts—fears, hopes, dreams—of all the people living below. But when he falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist, he is willing to give up his immortality and come back to earth to be with her. Made not long before the fall of the Berlin wall, this stunning tapestry of sounds and images, shot in black and white and color by the legendary Henri Alekan, is movie poetry. And it forever made the name Wim Wenders synonymous with film art.
