An eagle swoops down onto a rock outcrop as a gaunt, sunburnt man wearing a blue suit and a red baseball cap emerges from the desert; he finds a tap but fails to draw water, then enters a bar and grabs a handful of ice before collapsing on the floor in a crumbled heap.
Thus the enigmatic opening to Wim Wenders outstanding award winning film "PARIS,TEXAS". At once a road movie, a voyage of self discovery and an essay on cultural differences, the film has become a landmark in European Cinema history. From the extraordinary cinematography of Robby Muller, capturing the taste of grit and dust in the Texas Badlands, to the emotive lyricism of Ry Cooder's exceptional score, "PARIS,TEXAS" is a truly brilliant film.
"PARIS,TEXAS" has a deserved reputation as a modern day classic, and has stood for 14 years as a unique landmark in film making. A distinctly European look at the United States, the film is at once a look at the cultural tension between Europe and the USA, the conflicts of new and old worlds, a road movie and the story of a family thrown far apart. Over a decade after its original release, the film still provokes reactions that speak volumes of its sheer cinematic majesty and power.
