Paris, Texas

* “I used to make up long speeches to you after you left. I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone. I walked around for months talking to you. Now I don’t know what to say. It was easier when I just imagined you.”* Paris, Texas is a devastatingly beautiful masterpiece, driven by a stark, lonely atmosphere and a haunting guitar score. The film takes its time building a world of deep isolation before delivering an overwhelming emotional playoff. Stanton gives a career-defining performance as Travis, but it is Kinski’s heartbreak during the telephone monologue that truly shatters you. One of a kind film.
