Summary:

The themes, images, and cultural vernacular of Victor Fleming's The Wizard of Oz continue to haunt David Lynch's filmography from his early short "The Alphabet" to his television series Twin Peaks: The Return. Is Lynch trapped in the Land of Oz? If so, what can we learn about his body of work by closely examining how it intersects and communicates with that legendary fantasy? In turn, what do Lynch's films have to say about the enduring resonance of one of America's most beloved classics? Through six distinct perspectives, reexperience and reinterpret The Wizard of Oz through David Lynch, delivering new appreciations of both.
