Starring Harry Dean Stanton as Travis, and Nastassja Kinski as his estranged wife Jane, "Paris, Texas" has a deserved reputation as a modern day classic, and has stood for 14 years as a unique landmark in film making. A distinctly European look at the United States, the film is at once a look at the cultural tension between Europe and the USA, the conflicts of new and old worlds, a road movie and the story of a family thrown far apart.
