In this week’s NOW, I take a look at TIFF’s glorious Wim Wenders retrospective, centered on the terrific new restorations that have already started to trickle out on disc under the Criterion label — The American Friend hit Blu-ray just two weeks ago! — but come on, there’s no substitute for seeing Wings of Desire on a great big screen.

I also throw some love at The 8 Fest, because it totally deserves it. There is, as they say, no school like the old school.
