Reviews for Paris, Texas
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.
