Paris, Texas at Triskel Arts Centre, Cork, from 8 to 11 September. Travis walks out of the desert after a 4-year absence, and after reconnecting with his brother and son, searches for his ex, who left him years before.
Harry Dean Stanton plays Travis Henderson, who walks out of the desert after disappearing for four years. He is picked up by his brother Walt (Dean Stockwell) who, with his wife Anne (Aurore Clément), have been looking after Travis’ son Hunter (Hunter Carson). A man ill at ease in everyday life, Travis feels the need to search for his ex, Jane (Nastassja Kinski), who left him some years before. In doing so, he attempts to bring his family back together, with unexpected results.
Both a road movie and a mystery, and featuring a sublime score by Ry Cooder, Wim Wenders’ Cannes winner is the pinnacle of the filmmaker’s career. This year PARIS, TEXAS is 40 years old and the film has lost none of its hypnotic power.
