Lynch/Oz (2022). 1h 48m

“Basically 6 video essays where critics/academics/industry figures talk about the influence of the Wizard of Oz on David Lynchu0026#39;s work. With an exceedingly pretentious introduction.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eAnd thatu0026#39;s it.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eNobody is interviewed on screen, itu0026#39;s all narrated off screen. Like an arthouse version of one of those TV clips shows about u0026quot;the glory days of the moviesu0026quot;.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe point came across in the first essay. The rest added hardly anything. Clips are repeated endlessly because all the the essayists talk about the deceitful wizard, and curtains, and slow fades.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHonourable mention to John Waters for getting involved. Him talking about his own meetings with Lynch is the most interesting thing on offer. Shame itu0026#39;s buried in this bore of a documentary.”
