One of the most attractive visual meditations on pilgrimage that Wim Wenders has ever committed to film, Paris, Texas chronicles the spiritual and geographical journey of one lost man who begins to realize what his life is missing, seeing for the first time the ripple effects of his past choices on others. While the cinematography shows us the visceral impact of both the mid-western desert and the big city upon the wandering soul, the story explores the complex ways human sin and brokenness encompass the possibility for atonement. – Jeremy Purves
