Scenes I Love: Harry Dean Stanton in Paris, Texas


Today would have been the 99th birthday of the great character actor, Harry Dean Stanton.

My scene that I love for the day comes from Wim Wenders’s Paris, Texas.  This 1984 film gave Stanton a rare starring role as Travis, a man searching for Jane (Nastassja Kinski), the mother of his son.  In this scene, physically separated and hidden from Jane by a one-way mirror, Travis talks about their relationship and their son.

  1. I recently watched this for the first time. I’ve known about it for many years, but I had never carved out the time for a film that honestly doesn’t appear to be my cup of tea. I was in the right mindset, and I must admit that I enjoyed the film for what it is.
