“There is not a day that goes by when I don’t think of The Wizard of Oz.” – David Lynch. A deep dive into the relationship between the 1939 classic and the cinema of David Lynch.
Following his Psycho-doco 78/52 (SFF 2017) and Memory: The Origins of Alien, Alexandre O. Philippe takes us on a spellbinding visit to the land of David Lynch, via Victor Fleming’s timeless treasure. Lynch famously doesn’t analyse his own work, so Philippe invited six American critics and filmmakers including John Waters and Karyn Kusama to record their thoughts and theories on how Dorothy’s journey down the yellow brick road has shaped everything from Eraserhead and Mulholland Drive to Twin Peaks. This cinephile’s dream paints a fascinating portrait of an artist whose obsession with Oz and its metaphors for the American dream and American nightmare has guided him – and us – to strange and wondrous places. - Program Strand
