Angel's Wing

About This Movie

Angel's Wing, a 1993 drama, has this quiet, reflective vibe that you don't often find in films of its era. The story revolves around this wealthy young guy, played by Lambert Wilson, who's thrown into a new world after a plane crashes in his backyard. It’s intriguing how he shifts from aspiring musician to wanting to be a pilot. The pacing's a bit languid, which lets the emotional weight breathe. The practical effects of the crash are surprisingly well done for its time, grounding the film in a sense of reality. The performances are genuine, and there's a certain charm in how it explores themes of ambition and identity, making it distinctive in its own right. Definitely a conversation starter among collectors, I’d say.
