the film is like a song composed out of silent tears and instruments we need to express those tears but those instruments we hold dear and near to our hearts are not in this place but somewhere far away.
without the instruments, there is a song but you can't sing it to drown out your sorrow.
Paris, Texas
A place for dreams. A place for heartbreak. A place to pick up the pieces.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting meditation on shame and disconnection as a silent man reconstructs his shattered life and confronts the damage he's left behind. Wim Wenders' masterpiece moves with the spare, deliberate pace of someone learning to speak again.

Reviews
Not entirely my cup of tea but i can see why people love it.
The films looks beautifull and its really nice seeing travis and his son reconnect but the film kinda loses me a little bit in the second hour before picking up at the scene where travis is at the glass window.
