About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Comedy
- Description: Music icon David Byrne was inspired by tabloid headlines to make this sole foray into feature film directing, an ode to the extraordinariness of ordinary American life and a distillation of what was in his own idiosyncratic mind. Byrne plays a visitor to Virgil, Texas, who introduces us to the citizens of the town during preparations for it's Celebration of Specialness. As shot by cinematographer Ed Lachman, Texas becomes a hyperrealistic late-capitalist landscape of endless vistas, shopping malls, and prefab metal buildings. In True Stories, Byrne uses his songs to stitch together pop iconography, voodoo rituals, and a singular variety show all in the service of uncovering the rich mysteries that lurk under the surface of everyday experience.

After facing the fact that they will be going to different colleges next year, best friends Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) feel they must first complete the right-of-passage of going to a high school party and losing their virginity with the girls of their dreams. However, with their less-than-stellar track record in the ladies department, the two determine that they'll have to get the girls drunk to accomplish this feat. So they enlist their awkward friend Fogell to get a fake ID, which he obtains under the name McLovin. Will they get the booze to entice the girls and fulfill their plans, or will they arrive at college with dashed dreams? Either way, they have a night they will remember for the rest of their lives.
