Review of True Stories (1986) by Daniel H — 15 Jun 2009
Pretty oddball film by Talking Heads' David Byrne, as he observes the preparations for the sesquicentennial celebration of Texas in the small town of Virgil, Texas. John Goodman scores the best as the honest, lonely, friendly Louis Fyne, who is looking to get married.
Interesting for style and is worth a look. The "Wild Wild Life" and the commercial hater's nightmare "Love For Sale" sequences were made into MTV videos.
