The Straight Story (1999)

Alvin Straight travels towards his estranged brother on a lawnmower, bringing the pace down until a roadside conversation can become the event of the day. David Lynch finds adventure in modest distances and the willingness to keep moving. The Iowa-to-Wisconsin journey makes ordinary rural surroundings feel worth attending to, without turning the real man's difficult undertaking into a holiday challenge. A generous choice when you want the journey to make room for other people's lives.
