As with his early film The Elephant Man, Lynch shows that he is capable of handling a lyrical and moving story in addition to shockers like Blue Velvet. With its gentle humour and superb camerawork, The Straight Story is a sheer cinematic delight. THE STRAIGHT STORY opens Dec 3 Film 99 550Index 541 TV Choice 593Review Film99 Showbiz FilmChart
