Film Description:This debut film by David Lynch (made, astonishingly, when he was a student at the American Film Institute) launched the director as a major new talent and remains a milestone in personal, independent filmmaking. It’s a surreal nightmare exploring male paranoia that sees the title character (played by Jack Nance) struggle to negotiate his wage-slave job, relations with the opposite sex, sinister hallucinations (often involving his radiator), mutant offspring, and, most terrifying of all, his in-laws.
You do not need to bring in any equipment tonight other than a pen/pencil and your sketchbooks to take notes. Following the screening, everyone will write a two page response paper expressing your reactions to the film and specifically how the sound functions and conveys the characters and plot. The rubric for this response paper is here, and a form for submitting your completed paper is here. The deadline is February 6th by 6pm.
