From Aquarius Drunkard's Newsletter comes this about one of my favourite films, David Lynch's 'Straight Story'



Remembering David Lynch's The Straight Story

Over at The Ringer, Adam Nayman has a beautiful look at The Straight Story, David Lynch's G-rated Disney classic, which turns 20 this year. In Old Joy, a subsequent "American road movie, a character remarks that 'sorrow is just worn-out joy'; The Straight Story inverts that equation," says Nayman in this look at Lynch's least baffling movie, which makes it maybe his most baffling movie.
