Review of True Stories (1986) by Andrew L — 29 Apr 2007
This is the gist, David Byrne (Talking Heads) takes you to a fictional town in Texas that's getting ready to celebrate it's Sesquicentennial. Loads of cameos! And to warn you, it's a musical.
The people in the town are weird, they just are, and they're happy being weird. You don't need to care about the characters, that's why I like this movie, you can be a detached observer. No emotional requirements whatsoever, you are being allowed into their lives, to watch the trash.
That is all. Look for memorable preformances from John Goodman, and Spalding Grey (Killing Fields, Swimming To Cambodia, Monster in a Box, King of the Hill).
