The Dangerous Art of the Documentary

Alexandre O. Philippe (Lynch/Oz)


Listen Later

The themes, images, and cultural vernacular of Victor Fleming’s The Wizard of Oz continue to haunt David Lynch’s filmography.  Is Lynch trapped in the Land of Oz? Through six distinct perspectives, Alexandre O. Philippe’s Lynch/Oz helps us reexperience and reinterpret The Wizard of Oz by way of David Lynch, delivering new appreciations of both. In his discussion with Tiller, Alexandre speaks about the allure of making films about films (2:00), his jazz-inspired approach to interviews (7:30), how he selected his eclectic cast of characters, including John Waters (15:30), the art of the essay film (19:30), selling the film just on the title (29:00), and crafting the masterful opening scene (32:00).
