We continue our story with the making of THE STRAIGHT STORY — from its minimalist, rural production to the film’s warm reception and lasting emotional power.
In this episode, we explore the unique challenges of filming a story with no frills, no flashbacks, and no spectacle — just the quiet weight of a man, a lawnmower, and the open road. We’ll talk about Richard Farnsworth’s final performance, the Oscar-nominated score by Angelo Badalamenti, and how this unlikely project became one of the most poignant, personal entries in Lynch’s career.
