About
PARC AT MIDNIGHT: STAFF PICKS
Selected by Marin and Kim, customer service staff member and Noémie, manager :
“It's a movie that, from time to time, still crosses my mind; it's very touching and human. […] It ends and it has you question yourself and your life.” — Kim
“The movie started and the colors just immediately struck me, and I told myself: I have to see this film in theaters. […] I think anyone could enjoy this movie honestly, it's a masterpiece.” — Marin
“It's the type of movie that you really step into. You're guided by the story, the sets, the landscapes. It's the perfect kind of movie to see in theaters.” — Noémie
Synopsis: Travis Henderson, an aimless drifter who has been missing for four years, wanders out of the desert and must reconnect with society, himself, his life, and his family.
“While the film does contain an amazing monologue towards the end, the script really shines with the smaller moments, never trying to come off as overtly emotional. The score and the cinematography combine together to create a hauntingly beautiful tone. Several shots from the film, particularly the last shot of the film, will be stuck in my head forever. The score itself creates a sad, lonely atmosphere fit for contemplation in the desert. Together, they create the definition of bittersweet. Overall, Paris, Texas is an emotional, introspective movie that will leave you with a sense of sadness and a craving for steel guitar.” (FILM DAZE)
