Description

David Byrne, the iconic lead singer of Talking Heads, takes viewers on an eccentric and whimsical journey through Virgil, Texas, in this cult classic. Directed and narrated by Byrne himself, True Stories presents an array of unusual small-town characters inspired by real-life news stories. From the laziest woman in the world, who never leaves her bed, to a paranoid preacher delivering gospel against government corruption, to a lonely country singer (John Goodman) desperately seeking love, the film is filled with unique personalities. Interwoven with performances of Talking Heads songs by the film’s characters, this one-of-a-kind experience is a delightful mix of satire, music, and Americana.
