Genre: Drama

In this remake/sequel to Wenders' classic "Wings of Desire," the angels still hover over Berlin and bring their kind of magic to the people in a now-unified Germany. Mikhail Gorbachev, the ex-Soviet head, makes a cameo appearance with philosophical comments. A pretty good follow-up to the original.
