+++Postponed+++Pop Up Kino: Paris, Texas
This event has been postponed to a later date.
Pop Up Kino, Goethe Pop Up Houston's monthly film series, presents Wim Wenders’ road movie Paris, Texas.
Directed by New German Cinema pioneer Wim Wenders and written by L.M. Kit Carson and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Sam Shepard, Paris, Texas opens with the disheveled, nearly mute vagabond Travis wandering through the Chihuahuan Desert. The film follows Travis on the road from LA to Houston as he tries to reconnect with his young son and find his missing wife. Winner of the Palme d'Or at Cannes and listed as one of the Best Texas Movies by Texas Monthly, Paris, Texas is a must-see for Texans and cinephiles alike.
Doors open at 6:30. Starts at 7.
Free admission. Reserve a spot.
Please note that this film is rated R and may not be suitable for all audiences.
Dr. Sandy Frieden has taught German Film courses at the University of Houston for 38 years. She has published articles and books on German film and literature, and served as lead editor for Gender and German Cinema: Feminist Interventions.
