Neuer Engel Westwärts
“The principle of angels is that they appear and disappear in one and the same moment…now…here….at this moment…salvation…That is what I call the truth of this film, or to put it differently, its structure. There is nothing in it which wasn’t produced at that moment itself. Yes, a catapulting of voice, gesture and action, all happening at the same moment. For those able to decipher paradise from this, that will be the moment of truth, close to rapture.”
