Paris, Texas

 

Last night I mentioned this film to someone who had never seen it and was trying to explain just how perfect it is in every way.  As for Sam Shepard's script well...

I've lost count how many times I've watched this film but it's being lined up again

Here's Ry Cooder on that amazing score

I had two copies of this book stolen from me in Amsterdam but I did eventually find a copy here in Melbourne when I arrived in 1986. It's not cheap second hand sadly but if you do ever see a copy just grab it. An absolutely beautiful companion to the movie
