Trash Classics: True Stories

After the success of the Talking Heads concert movie, Stop Making Sense, David Byrne was given the chance by Warner Brothers to make his own movie. While a box office failure upon release, True Stories celebrates its fortieth anniversary this year as a singular and strange big-screen comedy released by a major studio. Wearing a cowboy hat, Byrne takes the audience on a tour of Virgil, Texas where people are preparing for a “Celebration of Specialness” including eligible bachelor Louis Fyne (John Goodman). With original music by David Byrne and Talking Heads, this is a rare chance to see this completely cool, multi-purpose movie on the cinema screen.
