True Stories (1986) ****
David Byrne's True Stories (1986) is a unique, weird, and wonderful film about the everyday lives of a bunch of unique, weird, and wonderful people in the fictional Texas town of Virgil. Much of the film has no explanation or obvious connection but the randomness is what makes these stories so special. Visually and musically driven, True Stories , which mixes both actors and non-actors, is funny without being forced, charming without being corny, and optimistic without being obnoxious. My Criterion Top 10 [Vol. 5]
