Deservedly winning Cannes Fest top award, Wim Wenders' brilliant film is a personal meditation on the relative power of images and words, as well as a contribution to the modern Western and journey pictures as uniguely American genres.

Paris, Texas uses the familiar thematic construct of the Western, and is conducted in somber nostalgia.

Wenders' slow, moody style isn't for everyone, but this is the epitome of it
