Continue celebrating our 4/20 Weekend at The Frida with David Byrne’s True Stories from 1986!
A small but growing Texas town, filled with strange and musical characters, celebrates its sesquicentennial and converge on a local parade and talent show.
Directed by and starring David Byrne of Talking Heads, True Stories is a borderline-experimental film that has gradually gained recognition as a cult classic over the years. Its reputation, while not as widely known as some major mainstream films of the era, has steadily grown, particularly for its quirky blend of humor and social commentary. Oh…and did we mention it has an amazing soundtrack?
