Paris, Texas
A place for dreams. A place for heartbreak. A place to pick up the pieces.
Directed by Wim Wenders
Produced by Road Movies, Argos films
A haunting, introspective neo-western about a man emerging from psychological erasure to confront the wreckage of his abandoned family, suffused with regret and the painful work of partial redemption.
A man wanders out of the desert not knowing who he is. His brother finds him, and helps to pull his memory back of the life he led before he walked out on his family and disappeared four years earlier.
