Paris, Texas

“Paris, Texas. One of my Sisters loved this film. I saw this film very, very young. And I have many core memories of watching this movie, particularly the extraordinary soundtrack from Ry Cooder. This is so iconic. I used to listen to that. I got, like, the CD of it and listened to it in my bedroom. It’s so romantic and evocative, and the time it takes to unfold, the space of the movie, the space of the incredible locations, Nastassja Kinski, the incredible monologue at the end...”

“I mean, we’re gonna do Paris, Texas. Every shot is a painting. Invented the color red. Robby Müller, who also was the cinematographer for Mystery Train. I don’t know cinematographers and even I know Robby Müller, so just a beautiful, beautiful movie. Wim Wenders. Loves a quiet legend. Perfect Days, I’m talking about you. Yeah, this is a great film.”

“Paris, Texas. Wim Wenders. And this is a magnificent Harry Dean Stanton Performance. And Nastassja Kinski as well, but Harry Dean Stanton is just so... It’s just a marvelous, marvelous, marvelous Performance. We lost him, so it’s always good to revisit those greats. He was one of the greats, one of the great character actors. He gets a lot to do in this. So I highly recommend Paris, Texas.”

“In honor Sam Shepard Oh little Paris Texas okay I just saw a new print of this that in Santa Fe and this movie is you think it's great you're like oh I know Paris Texas it's great it's so much better than that...”

“[Translated] I recently worked with this director on a film called Perfect Days. The first time I learned about him was through this film, Paris, Texas. It was so cool. Ry Cooder's music... And come to think of it, the protagonist hardly speaks at all. I didn't speak much in Perfect Days either. It's a truly beautiful film.”

“Paris, Texas. Okay. I think Paris, Texas is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, and I think there’s not a lot of movies that can portray loneliness as good as this one. And by the way, the colors.”
