A personal favourite of QFT's programmer and screening from 35mm, David Lynch's The Straight Story is a lyrical portrait of one man's real journey across America's Heartland.
Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth) learns that his estranged brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton) has had a stroke. Wanting to make amends before it's too late - but without a car or driver's license - Alvin decides to make his odyssey from Iowa to Wisconsin on his ancient ride-on lawnmower.
A biographical drama, The Straight Story is a splendid, deeply felt work as overflowing with human eccentricity as any of Lynch's other masterpieces, yet fueled by a singular gentility.
"One of the great American road movies...a film about moving slowly and gently in a hard and fast world." - James Clarke, Little White Lies
