The Straight Story 6:30pm (U)
(Drama)
Director: David Lynch/1999/USA/111mins
Based on the true story of 73 year old Alvin Straight who, after learning that his estranged brother, Lyle, is critically ill, takes to his 5mph ride-on mower to travel 240 miles from his home in Iowa to reunite with Lyle in Mount Zion. This story of forgiveness and endurance ‘plays like a beautiful elegy for an America that no longer exists’ (Christian Holub).
Blue Velvet 8.45pm (18)
(Drama, Thriller)
Director: David Lynch/1986/USA/120mins
Possibly Lynch’s best-known film and widely considered his masterpiece. Blue Velvet ‘an intensely 80s movie with an intensely 40s noir template’ (Peter Bradshaw), paints a disturbing portrait of how true evil can hide beneath suburban banality.
After clean-cut college student Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) discovers a severed ear near his home, his investigation leads him to singer Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) and he soon finds himself dragged into a sadistic criminal world.

Yn seiliedig ar stori wir Alvin Straight, 73 oed, sydd, ar ôl dysgu bod ei frawd, Lyle, sydd wedi ymddieithrio, yn ddifrifol wael, yn mynd â’i beiriant torri gwair 5mya i deithio 240 milltir o’i gartref yn Iowa i aduno â Lyle yn Mount Zion.

Blue Velvet 8.45yh (18)
(Drama, Cyffro)
Cyfarwyddwr: David Lynch/1986/UDA/120munud
Ffilm fwyaf adnabyddus Lynch o bosibl ac a ystyriwyd yn gampwaith. Mae Blue Velvet ‘ffilm ddwys o’r 80au gyda thempled noir dwys o’r 40au’ (Peter Bradshaw), yn paentio portread annifyr o sut y gall gwir ddrygioni guddio o dan banality maestrefol.
Ar ôl i fyfyriwr coleg glân Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) ddarganfod clust wedi torri ger ei gartref, mae ei ymchwiliad yn ei arwain at y gantores Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini) a buan y caiff ei lusgo i fyd troseddol sadistaidd.
