Description
Cast: Harry Dean Stanton, Nastassja Kinski, Dean Stockwell
As Travis, who we first meet as a homeless mute wandering the desert, Stanton is a revelation. Kinski and Stockwell, as figures from Travis’ past who reconnect with him, also give genuine, lived-in performances. Robby Müller’s vivid use of color and Ry Cooder’s evocative, elegiac score carry the film to a cathartic, intimately emotional climax. (BR)
