True Stories

 

USA 1986, 89 minutes
Dir. David Byrne
Rating: [PG]
Genres: Music, Comedy / Pop/Rock

 

Aroview: David Byrne meets some folks in the shopping malls and diners of a small Texan town, here displayed in all their "ordinary" glory. His lens on Americana plays out like a deadpan Dr. Seuss book for adults, utilising a pastel aesthetic that evokes John Waters, Tim Burton or Napoleon Dynamite.

Talking Heads provide the musical interludes.
