Paris, Texas
Me and Paris, Texas have a fascinating story cause I’ve been meaning to watch this film for like as long as I can remember, wenders the director
I’m fascinated by his whole filmography and i have a really good friend who’s been nagging me to watch it as well for as while cause it’s one his favourites! I believe it’s like the 40th anniversary of the film so they have recently given it a 4k restoration, so there was my opportunity to see it in the cinema like I intended to see it.
All I have to say is I am blown away! My eyes were locked to that screen for 2 and half hours, might be one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen!
About loss, solitude, longing and searching and just so much more! Not to get too sad but once the filmed ended, I sat in my seat and like this rush of emotion just flushed over me, like somebody had made that film and I was fully appreciated of it!
If your into cameras and filmmaking, cinematography then this film is a wet dream, the cinematography is mesmerising,breathtaking landscapes of Texas, the colours used and the artistic yet contemporary style of film making!
The score is just next level, very western and it actually reminded me a little of breaking bad, just adds to rusty and dry backdrop!
Performances all round are just amazing as well!
The final half hour I could not compliment enough I don’t think, the booth scene!!! What a scene! Such a perfect scene! It really does have it all that scene.
This films just truly amazing, I’m going purchase a physical copy and probably watch it again soon and just go into more detail!
Bravo
