¿Por qué París, Texas es tan lenta que parece interminable, como las interminables llanuras tejanas, adornadas de verdor y cielos azules, que es un bálsamo para mi alma aplastada por el invierno de Praga? Porque ese final increíblemente hermoso que te hace aguantar la respiración y no te deja los ojos secos, hay que ganárselo. Y encima, la joven Nastassja Kinski, quien es la viva imagen de mi primer amor.

This road movie is considered to be Wim Wenders' best film and I basically agree with that. It is a very slow film that relies on atmosphere, camera work that utilizes amazing American exteriors, and the ability to perfectly capture subtly conveyed emotions of the film's characters. Above all, it relies on perfectly chosen music, which complements the story. The actors we cast well and have precise acting performances. Harry Dean Stanton is beautifully worn out, Nastassja Kinski is fragile and innocent even during her performance in a peep show, and the child actor performs flawlessly. Overall impression: 90%. It is a film about the breakdown of a marriage and an attempt to return, if not to the role of a partner, then at least to the role of a parent.

A remarkable cinematic experience that pushes itself into our subconscious through its slow pace and the very restrained performances of the leading quartet in a very tedious but at the same time masterful way. Although I was mostly searching in vain for themes in this peculiar journey of self-discovery that would knock me down with their power and presentation, the novel formal aspect led by the perfect cinematography, the beautiful setting and the corresponding banjo music, and my great weakness for such creative escapades kept the star rating in the upper floors this time. I'm quite sorry, though, that the expected highly moving conclusion left me suspiciously cold, but at least it fit naturally into the overall easygoing context. 75%

This film is very well directed and of course very well written, but due to its slow pace, I simply couldn't get into it. Harry Dean Stanton is absolutely brilliant here, his dialogue with Nastassja Kinski is the highlight of the film, but it simply didn't evoke the necessary emotions in me, or rather not to the extent it should have.
