Course description

David Lynch is best known for his unorthodox style of filmmaking. From his cult classic film Eraserhead (1977) to his neo-noir television series Twin Peaks (1990-1991) to his abstract film INLAND EMPIRE (2006), Lynch takes his viewers through a surreal, often times nightmarish, perspective that allows them to experience the world of film in an entirely new way. This new type of cinema is counterfactual, and often times distorted and disruptive. Lynch challenges narrative conventions, and creatively undermines traditional film styling by presenting his viewers with disconnected storylines, inconsistent character-identity, crude realism, dream-like worlds, incoherent fantasies, bizarre characters, and both dark and psychedelic-like cinematography. This Course aims to examine the various aspects of Lynch’s cinematic world, and unveil the layers of his role as a filmmaker and an artist.
