PARIS, TEXAS RE-RELEASED

Leave it to the Criterion Collection to remaster and re-release one of the best movies of the 80´s in a way that puts some coffee table books to shame.  ”
The latest  release from the astounding Criterion Collection is Wim Wenders, iconic 1984 movie “Paris, Texas”.

Winner of the Cannes Film Festival’s Palme d’Or it is the tale of a man trying to piece his life back together after years lost in a personal wilderness, it features a career defining central performance from Harry Dean Stanton.  Its an amazing work of art and one that every discerning film fan should check out, but of particular interest to slamxhype readers will be the stunning camera work which chronicles the bleak and desolate Texas landscape of sprawling deserts and crumbling billboards which alongside musician Ry Cooder’s evocative blues slide guitar and the authentic western workwear sported by the characters creates veritable Americana porn for all you heritage fetishists out there.” (via SlamXHype)
