Make Way For Tomorrow (1937) DVD9 Criterion Collection

The title is bitterly ironic. This is a deep, gentle, melancholy film about an old couple whose children no longer have time for them.
Barkley Cooper (Victor Moore) and his wife Lucy (Beulah Bondi) call their grown children together to tell them that their home's about to be foreclosed. Who can take them in? This scene has a light tone; it could easily introduce a screwball comedy; instead it introduces what Orson Welles called "the saddest film ever made." None of the children can make room for both parents, so they separate and go to different households. Can they endure in cramped Depression quarters? Can Barkley maintain his self-respect after years of unemployment? Can Lucy adjust to life with her shallow daughter-in-law and conniving granddaughter? Can the couple ever live together again?

Klute (1971) DVD9

A reticent small town Pennsylvania private detective John Klute (Donald Sutherland) is hired to track down an engineer researcher who never returned from New York City six months ago. Klute is a friend of the victim's family hired by the research firm's top executive Peter Cable (Cioffi), after the FBI failed to come up with anything concrete. It's the family's hope that since Klute was a friend of Tom Gruneman (Milli) he will doggedly search for him, which will overcome his lack of investigating experience. There are disturbing pornographic letters that suddenly materialize, ones that Tom wrote to a high class NYC call-girl Bree Daniels (Jane Fonda), which mention how he likes to get beaten.

Der Himmel uber Berlin / Wings of Desire (1987) 2 x DVD9 Criterion Collection

Damiel (Bruno Ganz) and Cassiel (Otto Sander) are two angels who have spent an eternity watching over the affairs of men and women. Their job is to observe, collect, preserve, and testify. No one can see them — except children — as they move through the apartments, streets, and subways of modern-day Berlin.

Damiel and Cassiel eavesdrop on the thoughts, dreams, fears, and fantasies of a wide assortment of Berlin's citizens — parents who are baffled by their children's behavior, a pregnant woman, an injured man, a fellow contemplating suicide. Cassiel is content to just observe. He takes a special interest in Homer (Curt Bois), an old man who wants to speak out about the city's terrible past.

Damiel is different. The more he comes into close contact with the human adventure, the more he yearns to savor the palpable pleasures of a worldly existence. Even something as simple as having a warm cup of coffee to hold appeals to him. This desire reaches its climax when he falls in love with Marion (Solveig Dommartin), a beautiful trapeze artist in a traveling circus. Then Peter Falk, an American actor who is in Berlin shooting a movie about the Nazis, senses Damiel's presence and talks to him about what it is like to be human. The angel decides that he is ready to take a leap of faith and shed his wings. This classic film celebrates the sensuous earthly delights of life and love with sympathy and sensitivity.
