HOME
In the beginning of Wim Wenders's movie "Wings of Desire", two angels looked down at this world. They talked about seeing it from its creation, seeing it through the eons. They talked about the follies of men. Watching "HOME" is liking looking at our world through the eyes of the angels. The HD camera (also used in documentary "Planet Earth") gives us incredible zooming capability, allowing us to watch animals up-close from high above without their notice. It is so clear, so steady. We are indeed looking at our world with unflinching eyes. Yet, what will we do? Which angel will we be (if you have watched "Wings of Desire")? The one who stays aloof? Or the one who comes down.
