Back on the Big Screen in 4K

Palme d’Or winning film Paris, Texas returns to the big screen to commemorate the film’s 40th anniversary and new 4K Restoration that makes it shine more than ever.

Out of nowhere, a gaunt man in a dark suit and a red baseball cap appears in the burning heat of the desert between the US and Mexico. Travis. He drinks the last sip from his water bottle, then he moves on, doggedly, into the inhospitable area that the locals call “The Devil’s Playground”. Travis might seem to be mute and amnesiac, but he’s driven by the desire to reconnect with his family.

Wim Wenders’ iconic Cannes winner from 1984, exquisitely photographed by Dutch master Robby Müller, is a powerful statement on self-discovery, loss, redemption and the unbreakable bonds of love.

Screening for a limited season from Thursday 31 October.
