Filmcollege #1: David Lynch

Film college: David Lynch Dive into the mysterious and surreal world of David Lynch. In this film college, Rudi de Boer takes you through Lynch's oeuvre in which nothing is what it seems and the boundaries between dream and reality blur. Using fragments from his iconic films, Lynch's unique narrative techniques are revealed. What is his directing style, what symbolism does he use and how is the subconscious shown? Wild at Heart After the college, Wild at Heart (1990) will be shown, one of Lynch's most daring films and winner of the Palme d'Or in Cannes. This wild road movie follows the passionate love between Sailor (Nicolas Cage) and Lula (Laura Dern), who are confronted with violence and sinister figures during their journey through the American south. The film offers a dark look at love and violence in American society. Rudi de Boer Steven Spielberg once said: “I dream for a living.” Rudi de Boer did not become a filmmaker himself, but his dream of turning his hobby into his profession has indeed come true. Rudi is trained as a film scholar and enjoys blockbusters, obscure French arthouse films and surrealist cinema: in every film he sees something to philosophize about while enjoying a cup of coffee or beer. Rudi has been giving film lectures and film courses throughout the country for twenty years now.
