Wim Wenders' 1993 film 'Faraway, So Close!' ('Così lontano, così vicino') returns to Italian cinemas on March 21, 2024, distributed by CG Entertainment using materials from the Wim Wenders Stiftung. The sequel to 'Wings of Desire' won the Grand Prix at the 46th Cannes Film Festival. Set three years after the fall of the Berlin Wall, it follows angel Cassiel (Otto Sander) who becomes human, reunites with Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Marion (Solveig Dommartin), and encounters Emit Flesti (Willem Dafoe), Baker (Horst Buchholz), and Raphaela (Nastassja Kinski). The soundtrack features Laurent Petitgand's score and songs by Nick Cave, U2, Laurie Anderson, and Jane Siberry. The film blends thriller elements with philosophical reflections on goodness and morality.
