Paris, Texas

Paris, Texas is the first time I have encountered anything by Wim Wenders, and to say that I am impressed would be the understatement of the century. Not only is Paris, Texas one of the most poetically shot films I have ever seen, but it is also one of the most emotional viewings I have ever had. The characters feel real, as if you have known them through all the stages of their lives. The sets and costuming feel so simple, but when you slow down to engage fully with them you realize that everything is so meticulously crafted to hone the emotions in. Not a single facial expression of line delivery that is even possible to criticize, nor is there any line in the script to criticize.
