Wim Wenders Retrospective: Paris, Texas

Screening times: Saturday, November 14, 8:30 PM Wim Wenders | USA | 1984 | 145m A disheveled man who wanders out of the desert, Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton) seems to have no idea who he is. When a stranger manages to contact his brother, Walt (Dean Stockwell), Travis is awkwardly reunited with his sibling. Travis has been missing for years, and his presence unsettles Walt and his family, which also includes Travis's own son, Hunter (Hunter Carson). Soon Travis must confront his wife, Jane (Nastassja Kinski), and try to put his life back together. "I've seldom seen such a potent combination of superior talents. Watch the first hour of the movie, and what you will see is an unparalleled summation of America as seen by wondering European eyes." - Derek Malcolm, The Guardian "The panoramic vistas from the cinematographer Robby Müller are as breathtaking as any John Ford western, while the naturalistic performances and deft narrative structure make this the strongest movie in the career of its director, Wim Wenders." - Kevin Maher, The Times (UK) Tickets $12 ($11.40 at the door if available) Saturday, November 14, 8:30 PM tickets
