Résumé

Une évo­ca­tion de l’une des plus fas­ci­nantes énigmes de l’histoire du ciné­ma : la sym­biose per­sis­tante entre le conte ciné­ma­to­gra­phique fon­da­teur de la culture amé­ri­caine, Le Magi­cien d’Oz, et l’œuvre si sin­gu­lière de David Lynch, à tra­vers le témoi­gnage de sept cinéastes amé­ri­cains contem­po­rains qui explorent leur propre théo­rie sur la rela­tion entre Lynch et Oz.

An exploration of 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 narrated by some of contemporary cinema’s most exciting voices.

"Many filmmakers are avid movie aficionados themselves, yet few of them are able to convey their obsession and their astounding knowledge of film history in such an arresting and analytical way as Alexandre O. Philippe. In his latest offering he focuses on the most original director of our times,
David Lynch, and asks to what extent in his mystery-shrouded oeuvre he connects with the ultimate gem of American film production The Wizard of Oz. In order to find the answer the director not only enlists the help of filmmakers David Lowery, John Waters and Rodney Ascher, or renowned film critic Amy Nicholson, but he also draws on the fascinating results of cinephilic research which has established the fact that the most popular American film fairy tale from 1939 is the most influential and most quoted movie ever made."
