" PARIS, TEXAS IS ABOUT ABSOLUTE BEAUTY, THE KIND THAT WE SEEK MORE THAN EVER."
THE WORLD
Deep in the American desert, near the Mexican border, a haggard man named Travis walks forward, then collapses, exhausted. He has finally reunited with his brother Walt after four years of absence, during which Travis had vanished, leaving behind his wife and young son. Yet the man resumes his long wandering, searching for the past and the future…
With Paris, Texas , winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival, Wim Wenders created an unconventional road movie, breathtaking in its beauty and emotion. The exceptional performances of Harry Dean Stanton and Nastassja Kinski, the masterful screenplay by Sam Shepard, the sublime cinematography by Robby Müller, and the enchanting original score by Ry Cooder have contributed to its status as a cult film with an enduring aura. For its 40th anniversary, Paris, Texas is available for the first time on Blu-ray™ in a new 4K restoration by the Wim Wenders Stiftung, supervised by Donata and Wim Wenders!
