David Lynch famously saw The Straight Story as his most experimental film. Yet, as it shows the director’s love of people and their mindsets it’s thoroughly Lynchian.
Unlike other introductions that I’ve recorded, that can also be found on this website, the audio in the video below was recorded before the actual in-person screening, which might be why it sounds a bit more like I’m just reading from something. However, hopefully there’s still something here.
The screening itself was held in October 2025 at The Little Theatre in Bath as part of Picturehouse’s ‘Lynchspirations’ season which they held throughout the year. In the case of The Straight Story it was shown in a double bill with Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday.
