Paris, Texas

Wim Wenders
W. Germany/Fr/UK  ·  1984

​
Paris, Texas follows a mysterious, nearly mute drifter Travis (Harry Dean Stanton) as he tries to reconnect with his young son, and his missing wife (Nastassja Kinski). 

"A powerful statement on codes of masculinity and the myth of the American family, as well as an exquisite visual exploration of a vast, crumbling world of canyons and neon."
