Wim Wenders attended CFF8 to present PARIS, TEXAS in 1984. Just weeks after it had won the Palme d’Or at Cannes.
With his outsider’s view of America, Wim Wenders transforms PARIS, TEXAS into a haunting tale of loss, redemption and the ties that bind families together, and is arguably Wenders’ greatest achievement.
Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton) walks out of the desert after four years, to the amazement of his brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell). Reunited with Hunter, his seven-year- old son, Travis decides that they should search for his ex-wife (Nastassja Kinski) so that they can be a family once again. |
