Paris, Texas
An Absolutely brilliant Wim Wenders film featuring career best performances from both the mighty Harry Dean Stanton and Natassja Kinski. The latter has all the magnetism of her father in this role, which is going some. The famous denouement, in which he can see her through a peep show one way mirror, but can't communicate with her, is a classic scene most recently referenced in the forthcoming Charlie Kaufman film. The music by Ry Cooder perfectly compliments the sprawling american landscapes and the achingly slow pacing.
