Brand new factory sealed dvd is Out Of Print (OOP) and no longer being produced. Comes in a cardstock gatefold snapcase. These usually have the credits, stills, and or chapter stops printed on the inside cover. This is a full screen version, perfect for old school square TV monitors. Directed by David Byrne with his music performed by the Talking Heads. Over 50 sets of twins appear in the movie, see if you can spot them all. Byrne says the movie was influenced by true stories he read in the newspapers. In TRUE STORIES, Byrne is the narrator and visits a mythical Texas town named Virgil in which everyone is a little strange and some people are downright unique. He drives a new red convertible and wears Saturday night cowboy clothes. We meet a woman too lazy to get out of bed, and a man who adverstises for a wife but says she must be prepared to accept his teddy-bear figure. We meet the lying woman, who confides shocking inside scandal on many of the most important events of the last 25 years. We meet civic leaders and marching bands, we visit an old man who casts spells and fortells the future, and we meet a preacher who in one unbroken sentence leaps from the death of Elvis Presley to the fact that we always run out of Kleenex and toilet paper at the same time. There is hardly a moment that doesn't seem everyday to anyone that has grown up in the Mid-West, and not a moment that doesn't seem haunted with secrets, evasions, loneliness, depravity, or hidden joy--sometimes all at once!
