Don’t purchase this – wait until a version comes out that shows evidence someone has given this improbable movie some respect.
BLAH. Disappointing.
What is this uncommon movie about? Shopping malls, easily (and shabbily) constructed suburban building projects, computer dating, lonliness and the pursuit of attention, mass media, metal buildings, computers, evangelist preachers, the disappearance of culture into the principles of the ledger sheet and the skyscraper. These and other topics pervade “Accurate Stories’” disparate place lines and imagery. David Byrne took on the entire emerging power establishment of the unhurried 1980s in this film. Today the film views like a warning, like a bleak testament to the disappearance of a previous map of life. Most of us live in the culmination of what this film seemed to prophesize. “Good Stories” is cultural criticism embedded in campy film.

Byrne had played with the theme of mainstream alienation before. “Don’t Danger About the Government” (from “Talking Heads ‘77″), “The Huge Country” (from “More Songs About Buildings and Food”), and “The Road to Nowhere” (from “Tiny Creatures”) provide honest three examples. These songs attempt to elevate peoples’ perceptions about their immediate culture. So does “Accurate Stores”.
Not everyone will appreciate this movie. Sometimes the glide moves along like molasses. Some of it feels very dated. It has an intentionally stilted perspective as it plays with approved expectations and perceptions. Some of the humor is corny. In short, it’s an experimental movie. That said, it also contains moments of absolute brilliance, penetrates some then unknown depths of humor, and has the ability to commence eyes to the bizarre aspects of the culture of 1986 that we have all inherited. It also invites comparisons (in theme) to Luis Buñuel’s “The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie”. That and the cinematography of the sizable Texas landscape is beautiful.

One scene that really brings out the film’s themes is “The Parade of Specialness” in Virgil, Texas (with the Shriners in cars and the ‘lawnmower brigade’) . This scene is more about the disappearance of exiguous town culture and pride and less about the freakishness of minute town parades. As the painfully brief parade passes, the crowd stares at the tail extinguish of the festivities as it slowly fades away into an empty distance. Where are they going? Away, seemingly forever, to nowhere. And hasty.
Some of the other intellectual scenes include: the fashion point to with wildly ostentatious and meaningless fashions paraded past gaping mall goers; the dinner with the Culvers (”pass this to our guest”) ; the “Puzzlin’ Evidence” and “Esteem For Sale” montages; the film’s climax “The Immense Indicate”. Byrne’s intro “The History of Texas” is one of the biggest highlights. John Goodman, in one of his earliest roles, plays Louis with sincerity and sometimes over the top humor. And Spaulding Gray displays only absolute mastery when he appears on the mask. His almost surreal introduction to “The Titanic Exhibit” would stand up to infinite viewings.
Lastly, calling “Lawful Stories” a “Talking Heads Movie” must be one of the greatest misnomers of that band’s career. This was Byrne’s movie (the other 3 members only appear in very brief glimpses and in the re-edited nick of the “Wild Wild Life” video) . In 1986 the band stood on a pinnacle of popularity following 1985’s “Limited Creatures”. People with money in their eyes likely conception to capitalize on the band’s success (or perhaps that’s how the film received funding? ) . Unfortunately, the band also found itself breaking apart at the seams. In an exclaim of Rolling Stone at the time, the other band members (most notably Tina Weymouth and Chris Frantz) openly attacked Byrne. They depicted this movie as Byrne’s attempt to set himself above the band. Weymouth even compared Byrne to a five year used. Nastiness ensued, and the film “Correct Stories” remains one of the pieces in the puzzle of the band’s demise. They released one more album in 1988, “Naked”. That was it, apart from a few very cursory “reunions”. The DVD re-release fair great removes the “Talking Heads” tie-in that created so powerful tension during the film’s novel release. This is well-behaved. “Honest Stories” stands up better as a “David Byrne” film than as a “Talking Heads” film.
