Paris, Texas (1984)Grand Prize Cannes Film Festival 1984"Travis (Harry Dean Stanton) has been missing for four years when he is discovered wandering the Texas desert in a feverish daze. At the local hospital, the doctor contacts his brother in California, Walt (Dean Stockwell), to come and rescue him. "We thought you were dead," says Walt, on arriving. Ever since Travis's wife Jane (Nastassja Kinski) vanished too, Walt and Anne (Aurore Clément) have been raising the couple's eight-year-old son Hunter (Hunter Carson) as their own. Now, Walt now plans to reunite biological father and son, even though he doesn't want to lose Hunter himself. Wracked by amnesia and obsessive compulsive behavior, at first Travis is unable to reconnect with his child, but Hunter is eventually charmed by Travis's eccentric behavior. On Hunter's behest, they decide to head off to Houston in search of Jane in an attempt to reestablish their lives together.""Paris, Texas easily ranks among Wenders's best and most affecting works. A true intersection of Shepard's story of human alienation with Wenders's almost poetic vision of American physical and cultural landscape, the film is a wonderfully bittersweet story of hope that avoids the trappings of self-indulgent quirkiness and overwrought Hollywood sentimentality. This is cinema stripped to its barest form—just a simple, straightforward story, brought to the screen with exceptional skill." -Paul Corupe, dvdverdict.comDirector: Wim WendersWriter: Sam Shepard, LM Kit CarsonOriginal Music: Ry Cooder Cinematography: Robby Müller Cast: Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski, Dean Stockwell, Aurore Clément, Hunter Carson, John Lurie
