The most touching of road movies, the most heartbreaking of dysfunctional family films, a Western without horses...With its extraordinarily beautiful, stripped-back visuals and classic score by Ry Cooder, this masterpiece of a cult film has lost none of its appeal even decades after its release. A dishevelled man wanders on the Texan Desert. His brother finds him and helps him get his memory back and reunite with his wife and son whom he left behind four years ago. Assistant directed by renowned French director Claire Denis, Paris, Texas is indisputably one of the best films of Wim Wenders and also of its lead Harry Dean Stanton’s. Paris, Texas will be screened from its 4K newly restored copy.
