What they share

Theysit in Drama / Fantasy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Ruby Red, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Faraway, So Close! is

Wim Wenders revisits his angels-over-Berlin conceit. Cassiel, now earthbound, falls in with a shady American arms dealer. It's a lot more convoluted than the original, and not as good, but worth it for the cameos.
