Not for everybody
Those searching for more information about Lynch will find his body of work described as “off-kilter,” “sinister,” “surreal,” “unique,” and “compelling” among many other adjectives. Be sure to familiarize yourself with the topic, and the rating, before you go to the film. A smart assumption is that his films aren’t intended for children.
“This David Lynch Tribute will include screenings of his most beloved works,” said the Salt Lake Film Society in a press release. “Offering a chance for both longtime fans and newcomers to experience the surreal and thought-provoking storytelling that defined his career.”
