"David Lynch and Dune.
On January 16, I heard on the radio about the death of director David Lynch. To put it mildly, I’m not a big movie connoisseur, and I know Lynch not from the popular “Twin Peaks,” but accidentally and suddenly from “Dune.” Yes, the first film adaptation of "Dune", a science-fiction novel by Frank Herbert, was directed by Lynch in the late 80s, around the same time as the release of the first episodes of Lucas's "Star Wars". The comparison suggests itself and it is not in favor of Lynch's Dune, which is considered not very successful.
I read Herbert's novel in 2013 and was very impressed. It was immediately useful to find out if there was a film adaptation. It turned out there was: a Lynch film and a certain series. I never got around to the series, but I watched Lynch’s film. Overall I was rather disappointed. But somehow this movie still appealed to me. In addition, there are objectively strong moments there. Later I even got acquainted with the director's cut.
Of course, I was glad when I heard about Denis Villeneuve's plans to film Dune. And I was even more glad when I watched the first part in 2021. (I haven’t had time to watch the second one yet, because it came out after my arrest). But I don’t forget Lynch’s “Dune.” She's good at times.
P.S. last summer I came across a good one

about "Dune" and its film adaptations, if anyone is interested.
P.P.S. In a store in a Moscow pre-trial detention center, a domestic mimicry of the Twix bar, Twin Peaks, was sold. Isn't this a marketing outlet for people's love for Lynch's work?
