Lynch/Oz

description

LYNCH/OZ explores one of the most fascinating puzzles in the history of motion pictures: the enduring symbiosis between America’s primordial fairytale, THE WIZARD OF OZ, and David Lynch’s singular brand of popular surrealism.

Through six distinct perspectives, and narrated by some of contemporary cinema’s most exciting voices including Karyn Kusama, John Waters, David Lowery, Rodney Ascher, Amy Nicholson, and Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead, LYNCH/OZ takes viewers down the proverbial rabbit hole, and helps them re-experience and re-interpret THE WIZARD OF OZ.
