An irreverent, funny, spiritual journey of a 90-year old curmudgeon starring 90-year old Harry Dean Stanton (Paris, Texas) giving the performance of his lifetime. But more than a shaggy dog ramble, the film is a thoughtful meditation on community and mortality. The humor of the film permeates throughout, but we challenge you to forget the soliloquy by David Lynch (yes, the David Lynch) at the local bar, expressing his respect and longing for his missing pet tortoise, President Roosevelt. Lynch’s character and his transformation acts as counter balance to Lucky’s shrinking future This is the first feature by veteran actor John Carroll Lynch.
