    Armour 2020

    ★★★★½ Watched 13 Dec 2024

The armour is metaphorical, yet literal; the landscapes indifferent, yet integral; the titles cynical, yet sincere in opening up a man’s world that is closing in.

    I thought I’d mark my first year anniversary on Letterboxd by posting a review of my favourite film. It’s a long review, and personal at times, and contains some spoilers, so there you go - a few excuses for you not to read it! But thanks if any of you other Wings of Desire diehards do manage to make it through it to the end. 

    I recently had the pleasure of chatting about Wings with Dubthrone on his Collokino blog. It…
