Paris, Texas
from An Excuse to Eat Popcorn · host Kira & Hanna
Welcome to our fifth chapter: Love. This is a chapter we could fill infinitely, so picking movies has not been easy, but we decided to start with Wim Wenders' iconic Paris, Texas as it is all-encompassing when it comes to love. It's a structurally perfect story about longing, loss, and memory that drives a journey through the the myth of The American Dream, but what makes it such a nuanced take on love is that its backdrop is the Southwestern United States, and it's a French-German production.
