Dune (1984)

The Projectors

Week one of January’s theme of 5 DIRECTORS ends with our last of David Lynch’s first three films and it’s one that he sometimes disavows but also one that led to a long standing relationship with actor Kyle MacLachlan. It seemed like it was nothing less than a miracle to adapt Frank Herbert’s “DUNE” to film considering the brick wall that many directors encountered upon attempt. Denis Villeneuve finally pulled something off but for the longest time the lone attempt at adapting this imaginative science fiction story rested solely on the shoulders of David Lynch. Divisive in it’s time, his 1984 “DUNE” has it’s fans and it hosts a cavalcade of actors alongside MacLachlan’s Paul Atriedes including Jose Ferrer, Virginia Madsen, Patrick Stewart, Sting, Brad Dourif as well as many more players that would find homes in Lynch’s filmography. It’s too damn hard to discuss this movie and not compare it to the recent releases and we fail at not doing so, but Lynch’s “Dune” has its own richness. It’s own spice. It thrives in some points and is maybe slightly laughable in others but there is no less imagination and is a site to behold in terms of the era’s effects and Lynch’s ideas. Go see why 1984’s “Dune” holds a place for so many even after all these years then hear us tell of it. We found you a link right here: https://archive.org/details/Dune19843640x272435mb
