Looking for a way to get into Lynch’s work. I know, a little late, but I feel like I’m missing out on something with all the condolences going out today. I’ve heard good things about Twin Peaks? Does it still hold up?
What about his movies? I’ve heard great things about Mulholland Drive, although I was very confused when I got halfway through.
Are there other works that are better to start with or just that people generally recommend as being good?
Believe it or not Dune was the first Lynch work I saw.
Mine too.
Remember the part where the Baron gives Thufir a “machine” that has an albino cat and an albino rat harnessed inside it? Very memorable and weird. But probably shouldn’t be anyone’s first foray into Lynch or Dune.
That scene is so wild because they completely drop the “poisoning Thufir so he works for us” plot. The scene should have been cut entirely and I say that as a major Thufir fan.
In my head-Canon every Baron scene was so over the top just to make sure the audience wouldn’t blink too hard when they unveiled the cat/rat contraption. By the time it rolls around you’re kinda like “yeah, sure, this thing checks out…”
