Movie Reviews of Paris, Texas

Movie Review: A Small Place in a Large State
Summary: 3 Stars

Texas is a desolate state where Paris is the town with an active, bustling train full of freight cars. Somewhat like the Norfolk Southern but smaller and not quite so loud. It is like the Mohave desert in places. Houston was a metropolis in comparison, where Rodney Crowell grew up. Maybe I was mistaken, but this is the place where Lettie visited Carl during the war years and she was rewarded with a pair of little grannie glasses.

Travis went there and got lost, ended up buying some land close to the Red River. He was the typical male, taking no blame for anything and ran from responsibility. These were two damaged souls revived by a child. Afraid of what I might find, it was easier when I just imagined him. Mark is real, but not in Texas.

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.
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
