(David Lynch, US 1999, 111 min., 35mm)

Based on a true story, this film depicts the journey of 73-year-old Alvin Straight (Oscar® nominee Richard Farnsworth) who travels from Iowa to visit his estranged brother in Wisconsin on a John Deere lawnmower. Although not entirely without its idiosyncrasies, this G-rated departure from Lynch’s typically bizarre style reveals his genuine versatility as a director.
