Tracey Maloney What The Straight Story Is About
David Lynch's 1999 film follows an old man travelling to see his sick brother. Having no licence, he sets out on a riding mower. The journey takes weeks. The film reaches for no strangeness at all; the narrative makes the people met along the road and the wish to make peace its real subject. It is based on a real journey. Richard Farnsworth was nominated for an Academy Award. It is regarded as the director's plainest film. Who it's for: those who like quiet road movies. Who it's not for: viewers expecting the director's darker work; this film is nothing like it.
