If Wings of Desire hit the spot, these will too

Both are built on the same subject: dreams

The same preoccupation in both: dreams
The difference: Made in the 1960s, in a different era of the craft

One thread runs through both: angel

Contemplative and dreamlike in the same breath

The same mix in both: romance, then tenderness
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both lean on stillness more than on drama

Dreamlike fantasy, and it commits to that

Romantic romance in both cases

Drama built on tenderness, twice over

Both keep coming back to the same thing: immortality

Fantasy with a pulse of stillness, in both cases

Romance built on romance, twice over
The difference: Easier on the dream logic than Wings of Desire
