Paris, Texas (Wim Wenders, 1984)

8.5/10
The story went in a different direction than I had expected and was more sentimental than I thought it would be, but it was still very enjoyable. Harry Dean Stanton's character goes through a rare, true "transformation" in the cinematic sense of the word and two of the scenes - the home movies and the final telephone conversation in the "hotel booth" - are just blistering. Ry Cooder's score was also exceptional.
