The straight story (1999)

With this film David Lynch deviates for one moment from his lugubrious and dark universe. After having carried out Lost highway, Lynch receives a scenario of Mary Sweeney (producing, monteuse and scenario writer) who tells the true story of an old person (Alvine Straight) wanting to join his brother who had a cardiac attack. His only vehicle to join him legally is a lawn-mover.

The turning of a true story begins in September 1998. The team of film thoroughly will follow the course of Alvine Straight and he will profit from it to recover testimonys and anecdotes of the close villages. Lynch will knock hard while turning in October in Winscosin, because it is also the period of the harvest and the witness is completely immersed by the colors of the fields (the team of film will be attacked during a scene by a cloud of ladybirds).Turning will be completed three days before the date envisaged (on October 19) that .

The film of David Lynch makes speak about him, and it is in Cannes 99 that it will be presented in the official selection. Although favourites, Lynch will not receive any price, but the critics will support it. The dvd of a true story presents film to you français/anglais some with a report made by Canal+ for the newspaper of the cinema, and them tapes of advertisements.
