“Hotel Salvation,” (in Hindi, subtitled), March 9, 2019 (2016), DVD. Who would have thought Disney would be distributing David Lynch or that he’d make a G-rated film, but both these things apply to this marvelous 1999 film about Alvin Straight (the late Richard Farnsworth) who drove his riding mower 300 miles to see his brother. Straight lived with his daughter, well played by Sissy Spacek. Aging, he couldn’t drive but needed to both make the trip and do it alone. He influences many he meets. This is a kind, well written, remarkably humane American film. We watched this with our daughter and while she didn’t get the discussion about WW II, she had to confront an interesting film in which people don’t hurt one another, where nothing blows up, no one robs anybody else, cartoons don’t come to life, kids aren’t brilliant and adults aren’t stupid. It was great for her to see this film and enjoy it. Lynch has outdone himself. What a switch from “Mulholland Drive”. Scott Sumner recommended this long ago and it is well worth watching. See this one
