This film made me fall in love with the aesthetic of Wuppertal, and made it move very high on my list of potential places to visit and/or live for a while.

The railway is also featured in an early Wim Wenders' movie "Alice in the Cities". It's actually one of my favourite movies, highly recommended. The movie also features a prototype Polaroid camera!
Recommend this film? Was unaware of it love Wings of Desire
It is visually stunning. Though it's basically talking head reminiscing about Pina intercut with clips dancing so not a narrative film.
Also it's on Netflix in the US.
It was one of the first 3D movies I saw and I was a bit distracted by the novelty. I think you need an appreciation for dance to really enjoy it.
