Paris, Texas

Remains one of my favorite movies ever. A narrative about lost opportunities and miscommunication when the two protagonists can reach each other only across a one way mirror in a seedy sex enterprise. Excellent color photography by Robby Mueller and music by Ry Cooder which sounds similar to the sou

An emotional road trip abetted with an emotional score. The film provides strong themes of family and belonging when a father (Harry Dean Stanton) searches for the missing mother (Nastassja Kinski) of his child. Wim Wenders is able to deliver a touching, well regarded road genre masterpiece that has touched the teary spots of many.

Overrated. Beautiful cinematography but that can't carry a dull movie that makes me want to fall asleep.

How memories and man's life in civilisation work? How different needs are imposed and strengthen, when living in the city? Clothes, cars or even sexual desires. How a father looks like? What does it mean to become a father - it's better observed in an abstract situation of enacting it again. Personal and familly history - how few details can be extremely important? When talking about deep emotional issues concerning past present and future - we talk in our small rooms. There is symbolic glass between us. To see another person we'd better dim our personal environment. Which direction we speak - makes the difference. Not sure what to do with the ending. What kind of a man is Travis there? His future looks? Probably today we would be more curious about the "day after", mundane way of dealing with those existential questions daily.

Wim Wenders and Sam Shepard bring deep undercurrents of emotion to the desolate landscapes of the American west in this family drama. Cinematographer Robby Müller's stunning compositions and lavish use of color contrast with the film's themes and images of separation and loneliness. The film's road-based first act is a clear precursor to 1988's "Rain Man."

While I loved the neon and the Western landscapes, the story and the characters were a little muddled and maybe too overtly mysterious to hold my interest. This film has a great style but the story or the characters needed to be a little bit more interesting for the film to completely succeed.

Strange but interesting.

Fantastic movie. It is slow though! At times it felt like it was made by David Lynch

Filme surpreendente, impecável, como eu gosto do diretor Wim Wanders, ele consegue fazer o "simples" com perfeição.

Beautifully directed, shot, acted and written. It's a quiet, slow burning, yet hugely effecting movie which has stayed with me since I first watched it some 40 years ago. It's hardly aged a day and having recently rewatched it, its even better and more unique than I remembered it. Its pace means that it won't be to everyones taste but of its type it's close to the top of the tree. They really don't make many movies like this anymore sadly. Strangely beautiful, evocative and I personally found it utterly captivating. A true classic of its genre.
