The Search For Human Connection: Wings of Desire and Amelie

Update: 2020-08-07

Description

Wayne and Shane discuss the movies they have chosen whose characters are searching for a human connection. "Wings of Desire" (1987), directed by Wim Wenders, and "Amelie" (2001), directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet are compared and contrasted. Though very different in style, tone, and approach, these movies illustrate the common universal theme of the search for connection with others.
