I wasn't born in Texas, but my first memories are from there -- outside of Dallas, of a horizon as big and wide and flat as I've ever known. My family was pulled around by my father's work, too, so we didn't stay long. Still, Texas has some sense of being a spiritual home, since it's the birthplace of (my) memory.

Anyhow, I haven't seen Paris, Texas in more than 10 years, but I'm primed to see it again. Thanks for the piece.]]> http://places.designobserver.com/feature/journeys-end-wim-wenders-paris-texas/35208/#comments 2012-08-02T01:26:37-05:00
Louisiana to Houston may hold personal memories for the author, but the compelling distances and 'emptyness' of the film belong to west Texas.]]> http://places.designobserver.com/feature/journeys-end-wim-wenders-paris-texas/35208/#comments 2012-07-27T00:54:14-05:00
