Despite the conservative family values that move the plot, there are a lot of things i like about "Paris, Texas".
Nastassja Kinski
Hunter Carson -- child actors don't get better than this. It's a good performance for any actor.
the shots of Texas -- what you'd expect in a rehash of "The searchers", but it works anyway. The shots of small town bars and laundromats evoked memories of a certain small town in Texas 35 years ago -- even the smells. I didn't even know i had those memories.
But what made me want to watch the film again was the opening credits with Harry Dean Stanton stumbling around the desert to Ry Cooder's guitar. Again, it's what you'd expect in a homage to John Ford, but it works anyway.
