Der Himmel uber Berlin. Slow cinema. Magical Realism. The actors that are cast as angels are entirely believable as angels. A beautiful yearning romance with not only a woman, but the human experience. Nick Cave is there. A New Year’s film, to me.

Wim Wenders is one of my all time favorite directors, and this is my favorite work of his. I was gifted a copy of this by my dad when I was 14, and it changed my life. I always come back to it when I'm feeling lost, or when I'm at a turning point in my life. I feel like it always teaches me something new about humanity, and gives me a better perspective on life and existentialism as a whole.
It also has the ever fantastic Peter Falk in a very special supporting role, and a cameo by a young Nick Cave (Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds), and Rowland S Howard (Crime and the City Solution).

I had been emotionally and spiritually stunted for like 5 years until I saw this movie.

Wim Wenders’ existentialist odyssey. Lots of big questions and ideas and themes. Everyone should watch once.

This applies to popular works that are often recommended by others (for me: bell hooks’s work, Man’s Search for Meaning, Braiding Sweetgrass) but it also applies to the classics that people don’t necessarily recommend because they’re difficult— often assigned instead of recommended because they’re important— but their significance and perceived difficulty often overshadows the fact that yes, they’re actually really that fucking good. The works in this category that come to mind for me are Moby Dick and Le Samouraï. What are yours?

surprised no one else has mentioned her! Florence Welch has the voice, looks, and passion of a pre-raphaelite siren luring you into the ocean to drown because that’s how much she loves you.

if you don’t feel like a dancer, try martial arts! It gave me better balance, control, and flexibility, and the dojo I was at was very welcoming. I’m getting clumsy again after moving and I really need to start again!
