last night i dreamt that somebody loved me. no hope, no harm; just another false alarm......

 

last night i dreamt that somebody loved me by the smiths.

the background film is wim wender's wings of desire.

this has to be one of my favorite films - it's just so beautiful....the cinematographer, henri alekan was 77 when this was filmed - he had worked on jean cocteau's la belle la bête in 1946 & roman holiday in 1953 among many others.
