Wim Wenders│France, West Germany│ 1984│Color│English│Chinese subtitles│147 min

「我是從這 裡開始的。」崔維斯指著手中照片，那是一塊荒漠。甜蜜婚姻成了過去，失落的崔維斯來到此地，渴望重新開始。然而，母體終究是遙不可及的，任何歸零的幻想， 都有如「巴黎德州」這個奇異的混合體一樣，引人發笑。崔維斯知道，其實這裡沒有開始，也沒有結束，有的只是過程。於是他放下重逢的母子兩人，悄悄地離開 了。「流浪」是溫德斯電影的主題，巴黎與德州的相遇或許正像導演自身的經歷一樣，在不同文化間穿梭；沒有固定的根，卻能處處為家。(政研所 張又升)


This unusual road movie, tells the tale of Travis, a man lost in his own private hell. Presumed dead for four years, he reappears from the desert on the Mexico border, world-weary and an amnesiac. He traces his brother Walt who is bringing up Hunter, his seven-year-old son, his ex-wife Jane having abandoned him at Walt's door several years before. As virtual strangers, Hunter and Travis begin to build a wary friendship and conspire to find Jane and bring her back to be a real family. Paris, Texas is probably Wim Wenders' most well known, critically acclaimed, and successful movie, winning a number of international prizes including the Cannes Palme D'Or for Best Film in 1984.
