Description

Faraway, So Close! is a 1993 German fantasy film directed by Wim Wenders. The screenplay is by Wenders, Richard Reitinger and Ulrich Zieger. It is a sequel to Wenders’ 1987 film Wings of Desire. Actors Otto Sander, Bruno Ganz and Peter Falk reprise their roles as angels who have become human. The film also stars Nastassja Kinski, Willem Dafoe and Heinz Rühmann, in his last film roleDirector Wim Wenders assembled a modern rock Who’s Who for this soundtrack, which includes tracks by U2 (both of which also turn up on their Zooropa album), Lou Reed, Nick Cave, Jane Siberry, and Laurie Anderson. The result is a moody, evocative set that works with the film and as a consistent collection of contemporary songs. (Almost half of the album is given over to selections from Laurent Pettitgand’s low-key score.)
