Part of David Lynch: A Retrospective
No other film so informed the work and creative ethos of David Lynch as this tale of a windswept Kansan farm girl, surrounded by strange people in a strange place, who must go in search of an idiosyncratic wizard in order to return home. One only has to look so far as WILD AT HEART for explicit references to plot points and characters. And for an even deeper dive into this cinematic obsession, we offer up Alexandre O. Philippe’s LYNCH/OZ essay film on this very topic.
L. Frank Baum’s classic tale comes to magisterial Technicolor life! THE WIZARD OF OZ stars legendary Judy Garland as Dorothy, an innocent farm girl whisked out of her mundane earthbound existence into a land of pure imagination. Dorothy’s journey in Oz will take her through emerald forests, yellow brick roads and creepy castles, all with the help of some unusual but earnest song-happy friends.
