Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
Something like a perfect artistic union is achieved in the major components of Paris, Texas: the twang of Ry Cooder's guitar, the lonely light of Robbie Muller's camera, the craggy landscape of Harry Dean Stanton's face. In his greatest role, longtime character actor Stanton plays a man brought back to his old life after wandering in the desert (or somewhere) for four years. He has a 7-year-old son to get to know, and his wife has gone missing. The material is much in the wanderlust spirit of director Wim Wenders, working from a script by Sam Shepard and L.M. Kit Carson. If the long climactic conversation between Stanton and Nastassja Kinski renders the movie uneven and slightly inscrutable, it's hard to think of a more fitting ending--and besides, the achingly empty American spaces stick longer in the memory than the dialogue. Winner of the top prize at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival. --Robert Horton

Deceived by all the excellent reviews I decided to rent out this "classic" and was ready to enjoy a masterpiece. Having been so unbelievably bored out of my head for the past two hours, I have decided to write my first online review on Amazon (yes, the film ist still going on...). There is not much I am able to say as I have lost the will to live. Except for a couple of half hearted moments, this film was (is) completely pointless and a waste of time.....

Absolute magic from the first to the last frame. I first saw this film on its realease over 20 years ago, and it has been with me ever since. Harry Dean Stanton's Travis sails so close to the wind for me it's almost impossible to watch him. This film shot me through the heart when I first saw it. How can people so in love damage eachother so profoundly? Raw. Rich. Intense. Delicious. I just watched it again and it's brilliance and beauty is undimmed.
It's not pacey ... Read More

I have watched this film so many times and it always makes me cry. I love the way the film is shot and the dialogue. It is a tragic story of two people who have been so much in love and as a result have ruined each others lives. Not everyone will like this film as it is certainly not a fast moving story line it focuses more on the characters as bizarre as they may seem.

It's not surprising that Wim Wenders production company is called 'Road Movies'. In the vast majority of his films geography is just as important as characterization and plot. So it is with 'Paris, Texas', where the remarkable vista shots give some sense of the awe and wonder the average European must feel when confronted with this vast American landscape. Originally, Wender's vision was much larger in scope. He wanted the Harry Dean Stanton character to zig-zag his way across the entire country hoping ... Read More

This is a highly enjoyable, quirky, albeit stolid exploration of what can generally be lumped together under the heading 'Americana'. Robby Muller's eye popping cinematography, as well as Ry Cooder's moody score are defininate plus points. Wim Wenders directs with a 'European" eye that eschews what could have been yet another tiresome 'road' movie. He also does away with easy sentiment, although the film's characters make use of enough preganant glances to whip any potential viwer into an irate frenzy and ... Read More
