5 stars (Exceptional) Damiel & Cassiel are two angels hovering above Berlin, listening to mortals' personal thoughts, who live in a parallel world devoid of any humanness. Damiel falls for a beautiful trapeze artist & longs to experience life & love. One of my all-time favs. ~GenXGirl

3 stars (Good Enough) Although some of the poetic segments need patience there are some memorable urban location scenes shot in bleak black and white. ~Tubbs
