The Straight Story

Sunday 27 Apr 2025, 15:00

Featuring Short Film Socks

With short film Socks (Adv.PG)

Paying tribute to the late master of cinema, David Lynch

 

A wondrous journey which celebrates the magic of everyday life and the resilience of spirit, The Straight Story is David Lynch at his most gentle. A thoughtful portrayal on aging and celebration of life.

 

The first thing in director David Lynch's strange, tender film is a vast night sky winking with stars; but those stars died long ago. All we see now are fading memories, their light reaching us after a one-way trip along the cosmic interstate. Director David Lynch turns the true story of a geriatric road trip (on a lawnmower) into a gentle parable – and a classic, if unlikely, American road movie. The Guardian
