Review of The Straight Story (1999) by Andrey B — 01 Oct 2018

A very kind and warm film, a surprising present from David Lynch; an unusual film from him, but at the same time his famous Lynch touch is present. The title and plot may seem really 'straight', but the subject of the picture and the life of the man depicted is surely not that straight, and under this straightness there's a whole complicated world, into which the viewer is welcome to take a glimpse.

The simple but nonetheless profound philosophy of this film is quite applicable to our lives. A thoughtful journey and a very nice film.
