Review 4K Movie

The wind rushes across the bleak, sun-scorched plain, kicking up clouds of dust and sand. As far as the eye can see: emptiness, lifelessness, eternity. Not a single road. You wait for some sign of civilization to appear, maybe the wreckage of someone's failed life. Dressed in an elegant and austere suit, as if just coming out of the office or after a successful deal, a man shows up in the distance. The camera approaches him and we see that his clothes are actually worn out, his face has not been touched by a razor for many weeks, and there is thirst in his frantic gaze. Is he walking towards some goal, or is it just the wind guiding him?

The goal is Paris, a corner of happiness and hope lost in the deserts of Texas. Who would have imagined that Travis, Harry Dean Stanton's hero, is not alone in all this world. However, his brother Walt (Dean Stokwell), after four years of separation, who suddenly learns of his existence, drops everything and goes halfway across the country to retrieve his missing relative. How long will it be before a feral Travis, speechless, afraid of air travel, can get himself and his family back?

The whole movie is a long and difficult road, beginning in Travis himself, and ending perhaps in Paris, Texas. His dream is not far away, you just need to stretch out your hand and there it is - on a yellowed scrap of a photo, in the depths of memory - in the form of a cruel joke of his father. So close, and so unattainable.

Outside the car window cities, someone's lives, human ups and downs are passing by, but the protagonist does not notice it, even more, he does not understand what is happening to himself. Why his son was brought up in a strange family, why his beloved wife on the other side of America serves clients in a dubious “peep show”, where he himself, Travis Henderson, was all this time? Under the leisurely music of Ry Cooder, on the road to his own “I”, the protagonist is looking for answers to these and many other questions that tormented him for not a hundred, but a long four years of loneliness.

Wim Wenders chose a winding, very difficult path, symbolizing life itself. And, as in real life, we will have to ask many questions together with the protagonist. Perhaps we know the answers to them. Are they true?

Is it hard to be a father again? After all, the son has already grown up, his memories are rare and fragmentary, most of them are stored on an old family film. Is it possible to thank the people who raised and brought up your only child as your own, just by washing all the dishes and shoes in the house? Is it enough to wear a suit in the latest fashion and buy your own car to earn the trust of a seven-year-old boy? Maybe to do that, you need to bring back a real mom (Nastassja Kinski)? Maybe then Travis will get himself back....
