FLORIANÓPOLIS: UFSC, 2017. 169 P. Ana Paula dos Santos1 Júlio França2 A aclamada série de televisão Twin Peaks (1990-1991), idealizada por David Lynch e Mark Frost, narra a investigação de um estranho assassinato que choca os moradores de uma pacata cidade do interior dos Estados Unidos. A vítima é Laura Palmer, uma estudante de dezessete anos que fora assassinada após sofrer agressão física e sexual. A investigação do crime é conduzida pela polícia local com o auxílio do agente do FBI Dale Cooper, e acaba revelando um lado sombrio da personalidade da vítima. Laura era sem dúvida uma jovem gentil, responsável e caridosa, mas também estava envolvida com traições e adultério, drogas e prostituição. A descoberta dessa vida dupla faz vir à tona outros segredos obscuros da cidade de Twin Peaks: entre os crimes e as transgressões cometidos às escondidas pelos moradores estão tráfico de drogas, violência doméstica, aliciamento de menores e exploração sexual – apenas para citar alguns exemplos. Além desses horrores, Cooper precisa lidar também com as forças sobrenaturais que povoam a cidade: entidades misteriosas aparecem nos sonhos do agente do FBI sob a forma de anões e gigantes, e até mesmo um duplo de Laura Palmer revela pistas que ajudam a desvendar o crime. Cooper descobre, então, que o próprio assassino de Laura estava possuído por uma entidade maligna responsável pela tortura e morte de outras adolescentes. Ao final do caso, as palavras do agente para a mãe de Laura ajudam a personagem – e também os espectadores – a aceitar os estranhos acontecimentos relacionados à morte da jovem e à própria cidade de Twin Peaks: “Sra.

  • Šablona -- Závěrečná Práce
    Ohebnost zvuku ve filmové tvorbě Davida Lynche Ann Kuznetzova Bakalářská práce 2020 ABSTRAKT Tato práce se zaměřuje na analýzu zvukové tvorby Davida Lynche, především filmové, na příkladu jeho audiovizuálních děl Mazací hlava, Příběh Alvina Straighta, Inland Empire a jejich srovnání. Zabývá se způsobem ztvárnění idejí a určením charakteru zvukové tvorby Davida Lynche. Hlavním cílem je zjistit, do jaké míry je podstatná a v čem spočívá její určující dominantní vlastnost – ohebnost, a také prozkoumat vliv jiných druhů umění, osob, prostředí a událostí, které tvůrce dovedly k vlastnímu uměleckému sebevyjádření prostřednictvím zvuku. Obsahuje také rozhovor se zvukovým inženýrem Johnem Neffem, který se podělil o svoji zkušenost ze spolupráce s Lynchem. Klíčová slova: David Lynch, filmový zvuk, filmová hudba, Mazací hlava, Příběh Alvina Straighta, Inland Empire, Angelo Badalamenti, Alan Splet, Dean Hurley, John Neff ABSTRACT This Bachelor thesis focuses on the soundtrack in the cinematography of David Lynch with its primary goal of analyzing and comparing films of his authorship, in particular Eraserhead, The Straight Story, and Inland Empire. This thesis examines David Lynch’s creative process and establish the essence of his sound design. The aim is to determine wherein lies – and how major of a role plays – the dominant characteristic of David Lynch’s work, its versatility, as well as to explore how the environment, society, and different fields of art influenced the filmmaker in his own artistic expression through the language of sound. To further help answering those questions, an interview with a sound engineer, John Neff, was conducted, in which he talked about his experience of collaborating with David Lynch on several projects.

  • 101 Films for Filmmakers
    101 (OR SO) FILMS FOR FILMMAKERS The purpose of this list is not to create an exhaustive list of every important film ever made or filmmaker who ever lived. That task would be impossible. The purpose is to create a succinct list of films and filmmakers that have had a major impact on filmmaking. A second purpose is to help contextualize films and filmmakers within the various film movements with which they are associated. The list is organized chronologically, with important film movements (e.g. Italian Neorealism, The French New Wave) inserted at the appropriate time. AFI (American Film Institute) Top 100 films are in blue (green if they were on the original 1998 list but were removed for the 10th anniversary list). Guidelines: 1. The majority of filmmakers will be represented by a single film (or two), often their first or first significant one. This does not mean that they made no other worthy films; rather the films listed tend to be monumental films that helped define a genre or period. For example, Arthur Penn made numerous notable films, but his 1967 Bonnie and Clyde ushered in the New Hollywood and changed filmmaking for the next two decades (or more). 2. Some filmmakers do have multiple films listed, but this tends to be reserved for filmmakers who are truly masters of the craft (e.g. Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick) or filmmakers whose careers have had a long span (e.g. Luis Buñuel, 1928-1977). A few filmmakers who re-invented themselves later in their careers (e.g. David Cronenberg–his early body horror and later psychological dramas) will have multiple films listed, representing each period of their careers.

  • Smashing the Small Screen David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Reinventing Television
    Smashing the Small Screen David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Reinventing Television KYLE BARRETT David Lynch began his career as a fine artist and his films have always had a strong sense of visual style, even within the conventions of narrative cinema, which tends to fore­ ground effectswork or script-based character development over aesthetic verisimilitude. -Odell (163) Moving into filmmakingwith his debut animated short Six Figures Get­ ting Sick {1967), David Lynch developed subversive filmmaking techniques that would later be employed in his later live-action shorts and feature films. Many stylistic elements have evolved fromhis earlier work, including the use of an experimental soundscape, wide-angles, long sustained close-ups and use (and absence) of color. Jane Evans Braziel notes, "His visual style, influ­ enced by artists Francis Bacon, Jackson Pollock and Edward Hopper, balances narrative with non-representational images. The effectis a startling beautiful, if bizarre and sometimes horrifying, montage of sights, sounds, bodies, lights and movement that denaturalises the parameters of space and time, and con­ ventions of embodiment, violence, sex, desire and gender" {108). Both embracing and abandoning conventional production practices, Lynch has created an easily identifiable-"Lynchian" -style, successfully translated to the small screen with the seminal Twin Peaks (1990-91). Lynch's firstfeature film, Eraserhead, became a cult hit on the midnight movie circuit, leading to directing duties on the Mel Brooks-produced The Elephant Man. The critical success of this gave Lynch the chance to direct a big budget science fictionfilm, Dune, the result of which became a box-office 47 48 Approaching Twin Peaks and critical failure.
