Wim Wenders' cult masterpiece, Palme d'Or 1984
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 4K UHD
" PARIS, TEXAS IS ABOUT ABSOLUTE BEAUTY, THE ONE WE SEEK MORE THAN EVER."
THE WORLD
In the middle of the American desert, near the Mexican border, a haggard man named Travis walks forward, then collapses, exhausted. He finally finds his brother Walt after four years of absence, during which Travis had vanished, leaving behind his wife and little boy. However, the man resumes his long wandering, in search of the past and the future...
With Paris, Texas , winner of the Palme d'Or at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival, Wim Wenders made an unconventional road movie, stunning in its beauty and emotion. The exceptional acting of Harry Dean Stanton and Nastassja Kinski, the masterful screenplay by Sam Shepard, the sublime photography of Robby Müller and the bewitching soundtrack by Ry Cooder have contributed to its status as a cult film with an unsurpassable aura. For its 40th anniversary, Paris, Texas is available for the first time on Blu-ray™ in a new 4K restoration from the Wim Wenders Stiftung, supervised by Donata and Wim Wenders!
