Faraway, So Close is strangely indulgent and not impressively good. It's sort of a Mary Sue for Cassiel, (Damiel is dead and the acrobat is alone) who does, like Spider-Man moves to help... destroy a nuclear power plant? Something. A poor choice, anyway.
I think of it as bis ans end der welt too, though the poster I have has the English and French titles, jusqu' du fin de monde (did I spell that right?).
Wenders came and screened the 7-hour cut of UTEOTW at the American Film Institute several years back, and then stuck around for questions.
I asked him why he kept naming Rudiger Vogler's characters Philip Winter, when they were clearly not the same Philip Winters. "It's a good name," he said.
