Part of David Lynch: A Retrospective
Wed, Mar 19 at 8:00pm: Introduction from programmer Zack Hall | BUY TICKETS
A man (Oscar nominee Richard Farnsworth) aims to drive cross country on a riding mower to set right an old family squabble that has kept brother against brother in the stubbornest of silences. As the great philosopher Tom Jones said, tomorrow is promised to no one — and here is Lynch as the teller of his gentlest (G-rated!) but still rough-edged parable of persistence and hope. With Sissy Spacek.
