Just like I put off reading The Broom of the System for ages because it would be my last David Foster Wallace novel, I've always put off watching THE STRAIGHT STORY, the last David Lynch feature film I have to watch. Finally doing it today as research for my MA dissertation.Permalink On Internet Archive

Not to compare it too much to Lynch's more famous works because I think it stands on its own as a good film but there's definitely shots and elements of pacing that anticipate INLAND EMPIRE and, the masterpiece, Twin Peaks: The Return.Permalink On Internet Archive
