Wenders has already received many awards, including the Golden Lion for The State of Things at the Venice Film Festival ( 1982 ); the Palme d ' Or at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival for his movie Paris, Texas ; and Best Direction for Wings of Desire in the 1987 Bavarian Film Awards and the 1987 Cannes Film Festival.

Wings of Desire ( Der Himmel über Berlin, translated literally as The Heavens Over Berlin ) is a 1987 Franco-German romantic fantasy film directed by Wim Wenders.

Set in contemporary West Berlin ( at the time still enclosed by the Berlin Wall ), Wings of Desire follows two angels, Damiel and Cassiel, as they roam the city, unseen and unheard by its human inhabitants, observing and listening to the diverse thoughts of Berliners: a pregnant woman in an ambulance on the way to the hospital, a painter struggling to find inspiration, a broken man who thinks his girlfriend no longer loves him.

As revealed in the DVD, Wings of Desire could have turned out to be a far less serious film.

Wings of Desire received " Two Thumbs Up " from Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert on Siskel & Ebert & The Movies.

The first theatrical adaptation of Wings of Desire was created by the Northern Stage theatre company in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK in 2003.
