Print the Legend: Politics, Culture, and Civic Virtue in the Films of John Ford
FIRST THOUGHTS:
A really incredible exploration of David Lynch's work - especially looking at the move toward feminine receptivity in many of his protagonists in the early period of his filmography, contrasted with the masculine impulse to assert will or to dominate. It's a thoughtful, deep dive into the films from ERASERHEAD through TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, and I'm eager to read her follow up covering the second half of his career. While no examination of Lynch's work will ever be authoritative, I do think that Nochimson probably gets closest. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to go deeper.
