THE MAN WITH THE SUITCASE/L’UOMO CON LA VALIGIA film festival shows The Straight Story/Una storia vera by David Lynch.

The Straight Story/Una storia vera by David Lynch will be shown at the second session of THE MAN WITH THE SUITCASE/L’UOMO CON LA VALIGIA film festival. The film is a great metaphor of its time and its unavoidability, highlighted in a masterly fashion by its director, who wanted to prove that he could put together and direct a more realistic story than the visionary films that have always characterised his work. From a general point of view, the journey of the main character (an exceptional performance by Richard Farnsworth) can be compared to life itself, made up of meetings and a great many experiences, where the destination is not as important as how you get there. Introduced by Andrea Mattacheo.

The film will be shown as part of THE MAN WITH THE SUITCASE/L’UOMO CON LA VALIGIA film festival. Cinema and Travel/Cinema e viaggio, organised by the Bibliomediateca, coordinated by Silvio Alovisio (University of Turin) and compiled by the University cinema group Lost in the Dark/Sperduti nel buio has been put together for The Man with the Suitcase/L'uomo con la valigia exhibition. The Small Story of the Luggage/Piccola storia del bagaglio has been organised by the Fondazione Torino Musei (Turin Museum Foundation) located at Borgo e Rocca Medievale and will run from 14 February to 10 May 2010.
