Movie Reviews of Paris, Texas
Movie Review: Destructive power of jealous love
Summary: 4 Stars
It has been almost 25 years since this film won the Cannes Film Festival prize. You know this film was made a while ago becuase in one scene we see one of the characters smoking while on the air flight from California to Texas. It is a story of a man who has been missing for four years. He has been wondering thru Texas until his brother was notified about his wheeabouts. It is a reluctant gathering between the two brothers particularly once it becomes obvious that the missing brother has 8-year old child that has been cared for by his aunt and uncle for the last four years. Emotions, family ties, future are all at stake. There is a mystery about marriage break up of the older brother and almost simultaneous disapperance between himself and his wife. As story slowly unforld we learn about strong and passionate love between two people that brought them both destruction and separated them from their little boy. It is also a story about the things that we most strongly imagine that become frightening reality. Can it be that our thought and actions are so powerful that things we fear the most can become reality? Well this film certainly shows that is quite possible. As Travis (main character) is found by accident, the only way he can give his family a second chance is if he disappers again. Because his love for Jane, his wife, is still strong, but he knows well by now that it has destructive powers to it. Emotionally charged movie that requires certain sense of maturity from its audiences. Definitely an acquired taste. Nastassja Kinski is so young and beautiful!
Summary of Paris, Texas
After four years' absence a social dropout reappears in L.A. to claim his abandoned son and then heads for Texas to reunite the boy with his mother.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?DRAMA Rating:?R UPC:?024543130741 Manufacturer No:?2223074Something 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
