Review of Paris, Texas (1984) by Johari T — 02 Jul 2009
Paris, Texas is about righting old wrongs, but Wenders lays nothing on the nose. Minimalist cinematography captures the rural landscape of the American southwest, while interlacing highways serve as a metaphor for life's never ending journeys and decisions.
A road movie at its core, we're swept along with Travis as he delves into his troubled past, having lived in denial for many years. He realizes he must recognize the truth of his life if he is to move on and face up to his future, even if reality is the barren Paris, Texas rather than the alluring Paris, France.
