David Lynch was one of the most revered filmmakers in Hollywood, with classics such as The Straight Story, Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, and Mulholland Drive credited to his name throughout his nearly 50-year career writing and directing for film and TV. Lynch also directed the first adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel Dune. Unlike Twin Peaks and the aforementioned films, Dune was not well-received in 1984–Lynch himself wasn’t even a fan–but audiences have warmed up to it over the years. If you’re interested in revisiting Lynch’s work or experience it for the first time in the wake of his death last week, Dune remains fascinating and visually impressive 40 years after its release.
