In 1999, David Lynch directed a movie for Disney called The Straight Story. It's about an elderly man who doesn't qualify for a driver's license, so he drives his lawn mower 240 miles from Iowa to Wisconsin to reunite with his estranged brother. The movie focuses on conversations that he has with people he meets along the way. There is an absurdity in the long distance lawn mower travel, highlighting America's lack of public transportation and lack of care for the elderly.
Unironically one of my favourite David Lynch movies. The level of artistic surrealism present in his other movies might not be there, but a lot of his other themes are.
I saw that movie on Netflix streaming years ago and didn't even realize it was a David Lynch film till years later.
