French label Carlotta Films has provided a promotional trailer for the new 4K restoration of David Lynch's The Straight Story (1999), starring Richard Farnsworth, Sissy Spacek, Everett McGill, Harry Dean Stanton, and John Farley.

In the United States, a Blu-ray release of The Straight Story is expected to be officially announced later this year.
Description: A retired farmer and widower in his 70s, Alvin Straight (Richard Farnsworth) learns one day that his distant brother Lyle (Harry Dean Stanton) has suffered a stroke and may not recover. Alvin is determined to make things right with Lyle while he still can, but his brother lives in Wisconsin, while Alvin is stuck in Iowa with no car and no driver's license. Then he hits on the idea of making the trip on his old lawnmower, thus beginning a picturesque and at times deeply spiritual odyssey.
