More About This Product

Overview

Travis (Harry Dean Stanton) is wandering through the Texas desert, a bit shaky and in desperate need of water, when he stumbles into a bar and collapses. A German doctor of dubious credentials finds a phone number in Travis' wallet, which belongs to his brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell). Walt is shocked to hear about his brother's condition, since no one in the family has seen or heard from Travis in four years; Walt flies to Texas to bring him home, only to find Travis wandering by the side of the road, and they begin the long drive back to Los Angeles, where Walt lives with his wife, Anne (Aurore Clement), and Hunter (Hunter Carson), Travis' seven-year-old son. At first, Travis refuses to speak and is oddly distant, but in time he begins to talk again, and when he arrives in California, he begins the painful process of reacquainting himself with his son and trying to reconcile with his wife, Jane (Nastassia Kinski).

Editorial Reviews

All Movie Guide - Mark Deming
Paris, Texas may be the finest of Wim Wenders' "road movies", a deliberately paced but deeply moving story of a man at the end of his emotional rope who is given an unexpected chance to heal both his scars and those he has inflicted on others. Harry Dean Stanton gives perhaps his finest performance -- few actors could pull off a scene like the long monologue he shares with Kinski near the film's conclusion -- and he is ably supported by Stockwell and by the young Carson, son of L.M. Kit Carson, who adapted the screenplay from Sam Shepard's Motel Chronicles. Robby Müller's photography and Ry Cooder's score add immeasurably to the impact of this superlative mood piece.

    Have never forgotten how haunting this movie was.

    I was in hotel by myself flipping thru the stations. Was captured by movie half way though. Could hardly wait to see 1st half. Bought DVD and have never forgotten it. Watched it with my wife- she was asleep in 20 minutes!

    On DVD at last

    I've been waiting all my life for this movie to be released on DVD. One of the first great movies I ever saw. The cinematography of this movie is stunning.
