The upcoming retrospective screenings of David Lynch's films at the Roxie, particularly 'Eraserhead,' highlight his unique cinematic style known as 'Lynchian.' This term reflects his distinct visual storytelling techniques, unsettling plot lines, and unusual soundscapes. Additional highlights of the event include a post-film conversation with co-screenwriter Barry Gifford, themed drag show performances, and a showcase of classic Lynch films on 35mm. The retrospective provides a multi-faceted exploration into Lynch's influence on cinema and the audience's subconscious experience.
"Few filmmakers' names turn into adjectives. But so distinctive is David Lynch's feature-length work that we now use 'Lynchian' to describe all manner of strange stuff."
"It's got to be a trip, really. Just going from that super colorful Asparagus and then Eraserhead?"
"You can do anything you want with Lynch."
"Fondevila points out, it will be interesting to revisit Lynch's take on Frank Herbert's sci-fi."
