Cinespia and Vidiots present Wim Wender’s art house classic with star Harry Dean Stanton in person!

Actor Harry Dean Stanton turns 90 this year, the perfect time to celebrate the man who was in so many movies, from Alien, The Godfather 2, Pretty in Pink and everything in between. There’s only one movie where he’s the star though, and it is probably the most beautiful film ever made. If you haven’t seen Paris, Texas, here’s your chance to do it right: on the big screen, in a historic movie palace with the man in person! Don’t miss this super rare event.

Lyrical, haunting and beautiful, Paris, Texas is unforgettable. A mysterious stranger, played by Harry Dean Stanton, walks out of the desert and, together with his young son, journeys across the country to find his wife, played by the stunning Nastassja Kinski. At turns heartwarming and funny then moving and mysterious, vast lyrical landscapes, smoldering sunsets and glowing neon form the backdrop of this lovely film.

With a gorgeous, heart-breaking score by musician Ry Cooder, photographed by the incomparable Robby Müller, and directed by master Wim Wenders, Paris, Texas is one of the most acclaimed films of all times. Don’t miss this rare movie palace showing on the big screen and celebrate the legendary Harry Dean Stanton!

The Palace is our city’s most beautiful historic theatre, join us and explore with DJs, full bars, a free photobooth and a special guest appearance by one of cinema’s most prolific actors.
