I like Harry Dean Stanton and Sam Shepherd but this film really dragged. Yes, it's nice to see a film that takes its time and lets scenes play out but Paris, Texas took that way beyond the extreme.
Plus, this film would have worked if Kinski had portrayed Stanton's daughter instead. She was 23 and he was 58 when the film was made. Yup, suspend that belief big-time

Everyone keeps talking like the age difference is a flaw in the movie. It's practically the whole point. This isn't a love story. It's a story about a disturbed abusive man who took in a poor teenage girl.
We don't know too much about Jane's background, but dollars to doughnuts she was a poor teenager, probably running away from an abusive (or at least dysfunctional) family, and had nowhere else to go. It happens to young women all the time.

Everything isn't for everybody, I guess. There is always Iron Man..
