City of Angels is an English language film directed by Brad Silberling in 1998. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Meg Ryan. Set in Los Angeles, California, the film is a remake of Wim Wenders' 1987 German film Wings of Desire, which was set in Berlin. In the film, an angel (Cage) falls in love with a human woman (Ryan) and has to decide whether to become mortal to spend his life with her or to stay an angel.
The angel who becomes human is a sort of herdsman for the dead, known simply as Seth. He listens to music every dawn and dusk, which apparently originates in the sunrise and sunset. With him are scores of other angels, invisible and undetected by human adults. Seth spends considerable time thinking about humans; he becomes very interested in their thoughts and feelings, particularly those of a female heart surgeon (Ryan).
A soundtrack album, City of Angels: Music from the Motion Picture, preceded the film's U.S. release.
