But then again, there are very few directors like David Lynch. Walking the tightrope between the mainstream and the avant-garde, Lynch brought to the screen a singularly dark and disturbing view of reality. A nightmare world punctuated by defining moments of extreme violence, bizarre comedy, and strange beauty, his dreamlike films have conjured some of the great modern American images. Celebrating his newly restored and re-released masterpiece Mulholland Drive, our hosts Hugo, Tom and Elliot discuss his entire body of work, the many interpretations his films stir up and much more!<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-fill\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/nl\/podcast\/celebrating-cinema\/id1558165273\" style=\"color:#000000;background-color:#ffc8dc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/nl\/podcast\/celebrating-cinema\/id1558165273 noopener\"><strong>Subscribe to our podcast<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: David Lynch: Extreme Violence, Bizarre Comedy &amp; Strange Beauty \" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/40Bl6Pzujlmo5k8GxFEnA6?utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Partnership with MUBI <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are delighted to announce our new partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/mubi.com\/showing\">MUBI<\/a>, a curated streaming platform.

A chance to meet our podcast hosts Tom, Kiriko and Hugo as they discuss the relevance of Twilight; a film that showcases a darkly stylish depiction of female desire wrapped inside an inherently silly teen vampire romance. Like it or not this romance saga had us hooked from the beginning and launched the careers of its stars Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
