A departure from David Lynch’s surrealist universe, The Straight Story (1999) is a quiet road film based on a true story — of an elderly man who rides a lawnmower across Iowa to reconcile with his estranged brother. It’s a film about grace, about slowness, about the dignity of choosing a straight line when the world no longer expects you to.
This original Japanese B5 poster reflects the gentle minimalism of the film itself: a hand-lettered title against a night sky, and Alvin Straight — tiny but determined — riding into the dark. Printed for the film’s 2000 theatrical release in Japan, this piece carries both visual charm and narrative weight.
A poignant companion for collectors of Lynch’s work — or anyone drawn to cinema’s quieter truths.
In excellent condition.
