I LOVED Wings of Desire more than I can express and was looking forward to the sequel. It was so long in coming that I thought perhaps the "To Be Continued..." at the end of Wings was a comment about life continuing. I went into Far Away, So Close with high hopes that were utterly dashed. It was convoluted, busy, and stupid. I instantly wished I had never seen it and had kept my memory of Wings untainted with such drivel. I am stunned to see that so many people liked it. They must not have seen Wings. The scene where the circus performers and Peter Falk rob the porn warehouse is particularly cringe inducing. Someone please burn the negative.
Review of Faraway, So Close!
