The Film Paintings of David Lynch: Challenging Film Theory

By Allister Mactaggart

Now Available | ISBN 9781841503325 | Pb | Price £14.95, $25

Aimed at both Lynch fans and ?lm studies specialists, Allister Mactaggart addresses
Lynch's ?lms from the perspective of the relationship between commercial ?lm, avant-garde
art, and cultural theory. Individual Lynch works are discussed in relation to other ?lms
and directors, illustrating that the solitary, or seemingly isolated, experience of ?lm
is itself socially, culturally, and politically important. Mactaggart offers a unique
perspective on an in?uential director, weaving together a range of theoretical approaches
to Lynch's ?lms to make exciting new connections among ?lm theory, art history and
psychoanalysis.

The notion of landscape is a complex one, but it has been central to the art and artistry
of the cinema. After all, what is the French New Wave without Paris?  What are the films

and Landscape frames up contemporary film landscapes across the world, in a concentrated
examination and interrogation of screen aesthetics and national ideology, film form and
cultural geography, cinematic representation and the human environment.
