About this event
Join us on Saturday, February 22 @ 12pm for a celebration of the life of director David Lynch, who passed away on January 15, with our free screening of one of his most touching films, "The Straight Story." The film remains a unique entry in Lynch's filmography, supplanting his usual surrealism with this deeply heartfelt and touching story. Free concessions and drinks will be provided.
Synopsis: A retired farmer and widower in his 70s, Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth) learns one day that his distant brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton) has suffered a stroke and may not recover. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can, but his brother lives in Wisconsin, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver's license. Then he hits on the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual odyssey.
