A Wenders double feature, forty years apart

Started Paris, Texas on Sunday and finished Perfect Days the night before. Not planned, but it ended up being the right pairing.

Both are about men who have stripped their lives down to almost nothing and the camera following them around long enough that you stop asking why. Forty years between them and the patience is the same.

I don’t have a thesis. I just liked sitting with both of them in the same week.
