The scene with Travis and hunter running across the road on opposite sides is honestly one of my favourite scenes in the history of cinema.

Aaron HendrixApr 13, 2018“I wanted to see him so bad that I didn't even dare imagine him anymore.”Seemingly birthed from the dust that surrounds him, a man wordlessly emerges from the desert, trudging towards an invisible horizon. His face is weary and withered, his memory elusive, his soul haunted…

samSep 15, 2013That scene, you know the one, is posed a bit like a priest's confessional box, right down to a separation of perspective, a wall where one cannot see the confessing individual. They are separated by a mirror, and this lets Wenders and his clever little crew impose the faces…

"i didn't want to use him to fill all my emptiness." as close to perfect as movies can get. i really love how bittersweet it is, it's like you're warm and cozy for a couple of minutes but then you're freezing, truly an amazing depiction of life and the human experience and…

Sophie lovedParis, Texasthis feels like screaming in lowercase; the music, the characters attitude, the dialogues everything was calm, which doesn't mean it wasn't profound tho, but the actions & story were hectic. it was so interesting!! truly amazing!!

did i miss something or what because this was genuinely the most boring movie i have ever seen in my life
Mike T. lovedParis, TexasWim Wenders’ 40-year-old Masterpiece. A 3-Act character study on Travis, with so much up to the audience’s interpretation. I’ve never seen a movie make you feel so comfortable with a character, just to absolutely destroy them. Pure kino, highly recommend going in blind.
Zaynah Tringhese is "meh" onParis, Texasi’m not sure how to feel. it’s not a bad movie but i wouldn’t watch it again. although, i do think the cinematography was kind of aesthetic.

It is an eerie, sad story whose meaning disappears over the vast horizon as if on a highway heading away through the desert.
