Director: Wim Wenders Run Time: 128 min. Format: 35mm Film Release Year: 1987 Language: German

An angel (Ganz) who spends his time invisibly observing humanity falls in love with a beautiful trapeze artist (Dommartin) and, in one of cinema’s most significant romantic gestures, gives up his wings to descend to Earth and pursue her. Not a Christmas film per se but it’s been a staple of Brattle holiday program for thirty years.
“A soaring vision that appeals to the senses and the spirit.” – Desson Thompson, Washington Post
