New, Unopened, "Don't Come Knocking" [DVD] The shrink wrap has a small tear. Original price: 4935 yen Starring: Gabriel Mann, Sam Shepard, Sarah Polley, Jessica Lange, Tim Roth Includes 3 postcards. Synopsis In "Don't Come Knocking," director Wim Wenders revisits the literary and metaphorical approach he first explored in "Paris, Texas." The setting is the American Southwest, and Sam Shepard, who also wrote the screenplay, is involved, just as before. This time, Shepard also stars. He plays Howard Spence, a former Western star. One day, while filming in Monument Valley, he takes off his boots and jumps on a train to Nevada to see his mother (the ever-charming Eva Marie Saint). He is unaware that Sutter (Tim Roth), a detective hired by the film company, is following him. Next, Spence goes to Montana and meets Sky (Sarah Polley), a young woman trying to recover from the death of a family member. And then there's Earl (Gabriel Mann), a somewhat rebellious young man who sings like Chris Isaak. Spence doesn't yet know that Earl is his child, born from a youthful indiscretion, but he will later learn this shocking fact. While in Butte, he finds his old lover, Doreen (Jessica Lange). In "Don't Come Knocking," Wenders and Shepard cherish a retrospective atmosphere, so Spence is older and more melancholic than Travis, played by Harry Dean Stanton in "Paris, Texas." While not overwhelmingly impactful, it's a worthwhile addition to the masterpieces of modern Western-themed films. The cinematography by Franz Lustig is beautiful, with colors like burning red and vibrant green, and the melancholic music by T-Bone Burnett is also excellent.
