Paris, Texas12A
Dishevelled and with seemingly no idea who he is, Travis Henderson (Harry Dean Stanton) emerges from the desert after four years missing. When a stranger manages to contact his brother, Travis is reunited with his sibling and with the son he left behind. As he begins to reconnect with his family, Travis must also confront his wife and try to put his life back together. New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders brings his keen eye for landscape to the American Southwest in this profoundly moving character study written by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Sam Shepard. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival.
Reviews
‘An eerie, sad story whose meaning disappears over the vast horizon as if on a highway heading away through the desert.’

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
‘It is true, deep, and brilliant.’
★★★★★
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Our beautiful art deco inspired auditorium can be found just off East Oxford's Cowley Road.We are open 7 days a week. We open the cinema and box office 30 minutes before the scheduled start time of each film, and the Box Office then closes 10 minutes after the film starts. We only show a few adverts – less than most cinemas – and we only play a couple of trailers, so please don’t be late as the film itself starts very close to the advertised time!
