Paris, Texas
A man crosses a desert, gigantic canyons beside him, his worn snakeskin boots full of holes, his water canister empty. He doesn't know where he comes from, he doesn't know where he's going, he doesn't know if it's just thirst that drives him forward. He collapses in a bar on the border between Mexico and Texas. Here, his estranged brother finds him. Paris, Texas (1984) tells the story of a man who sets out to find his past. In vivid colors and accompanied by the atmospheric music of Ry Cooder, Wim Wenders' film shows Travis, believed to be dead, on his odyssey through the southwestern United States. From motels on the edge of civilization to gigantic highways to middle-class life with a view of L.A. - Paris, Texas lets you get to know the USA in all its facets! The dust has come to stay, you may come by or pass through or whatever
