A true story, David Lynch's sublime road trip soon in 4K Ultra HD

Taken from a real news item, A True Story follows the rather slow pace of Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth), a 73-year-old farmer who, not owning a car, undertook to cross a a good part of the United States on the tractor that serves as a mower, to visit his dying brother.

Almost nothing happens for 107 minutes (breakdowns, falls, a few encounters, few dialogues), and yet this lascivious road movie by David Lynch in 1998 is a particularly touching and enchanting little nugget. Its release first in theaters on February 21, then in 4K Ultra HD on April 17 (via Studiocanal), is news that deserves to be highlighted. Especially since we remember its string of beautiful colors, its frank contrasts, its extraordinary sharpness, in short, its astonishing beauty, a beautiful tribute to the landscapes of the Midwest.

Imagine Ritrovata in Italy was responsible for the restoration and Fotokem for the calibration. Ronald Eng, the film's sound engineer and mixer, reworked the original version with the director. The restoration was supervised by David Lynch. A project produced by Studiocanal and supervised by Sophie Boyer and Jean-Pierre Boiget”.
