If you've ever wondered what the life of an angel might be like, then the haunting Wings of Desire might just provide the answer. Set in the German city of Berlin, the story follows a group of angels as they observe the human behaviour around them - unseen by all except children. But although the watchful angels are unforgettable figures, what's just as memorable is the way the film looks - most of it being shot in a sepia-tinted black and white that was then "borrowed" by advertisers and other film-makers for years afterwards.
