DER HIMMEL ÜBER BERLIN / WINGS OF DESIRE (1987) FIRST AMERICAN RELEASE POSTER, 1988
SIGNED BY WIM WENDERS, DIRECTOR
40 x 27 in. (102 x 69 cm)
This romantic-fantasy was directed by Wim Wenders, and stars Bruno Ganz, Solveig Dommartin, Otto Sander, Curt Bois and Peter Falk. It tells the story of invisible angels, who listen to the thoughts of humans and comfort those in need. One angel, who becomes weary of overseeing humans, falls in love with a mortal, and then wants to become human himself, in order to fully experience all the good things that mortal life has to offer. The film was shot in colour and sepia-toned black-and-white. The colour represents the mortal world, and sepia, the world seen by the angels.
Mr. Sohal had this poster signed when he met Werner Herzog on the release of his film Lo and Behold at the London Film Festival. It is rare for anyone to have an original film poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs and video/dvd sleeves. It is unusual to have the film's poster with you when you try to obtain signatures.
