Description
By Wim Wenders. Starring Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski, Dean Stockwell. Digitally restored copy. A man walks in the American desert. Overcome by fatigue and thirst, he collapses in a bar. Upon waking, he only speaks of the small town of Paris, Texas, where he left a part of his soul... Made three years before Der Himmel über Berlin, Paris, Texas is Wim Wenders' most unique and admirable work. Inspired by Sam Shepard's autobiographical book Motel Chronicles, the filmmaker reflects his character's alienation in contact with the family home, as well as the loss of innocence through long, symbol-laden wanderings in the heart of the vast American landscapes. Awarded the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, Paris, Texas is a film of infinite grace and universality, expressing the unspeakable without ever naming it. West Germany, undefined, France · 1984 · 146' · original version with French subtitles - format: DC@CAP 1 – Capitole, Salle Freddy Buache ( CAP 1 ) - indicative price: 10.-
