Alamo Drafthouse New Mission invites moviegoers to dive deep into the fascinating world of David Lynch.
The cinema of San Francisco greets the equally visionary and emblematic director – who died in January at the age of 78 – showing several of his greatest works in March and April.
“It was a singular artist who discouraged the layers of the collective unconscious of American pop culture,” the organizers wrote about Lynch on the Alamo website. “We invite you to live – on the big screen – Lynch’s unique capacity to mix black, horror, comedy and existential fear, and the unforgettable cinematographic experiences he created.”
The list of our unmissable list is “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me”, the 1992 prequel of Lynch and Mark Frost to Hit from Cult TV from Mark Frost “Twin Peaks”. The feature film’s film has actually attracted horrible criticism when it was released, as well as flopped with the box office, but the critical and popular consensus has changed over the years and “Fire Walk with me” is now rightly considered to be one of the director’s best works.
“Twin Peaks: Fire With Me” shows 9:10 p.m. March 14 and 18 on March 19.
Among the other Lynch favorites who should strike the big screen include “Wild at Heart”, “Lost Highway”, “Mulholland Drive”, “Inland Empire”, “The Elephant Man” and “Dune” (1984) – with the latter always ranks like our favorite cinematographic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s novel.
