DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the universe of David Lynch with Persona.
The screening will be introduced by Marie Barešová, curator of the National Film
Archive.
After famous actress Elizabeth Vogler (Liv Ullmann) goes mute and apparently has a breakdown, she is sent to a beach house where she is accompanied only by a nurse named Alma (Bibi Andersson). As Alma attempts to get through to her patient over the subsequent weeks, the two develop a strange emotional bond. A fascination with Ingmar Bergman is undeniable among a particular generation of American directors, and Lynch himself was no exception.
Persona has a unique ability to communicate with the viewer’s subjective mind as if it were a feature-length Rorschach test associatively referencing key works of world culture from the late nineteenth century to the present, from Ibsen, Pirandello, and Vertov to Bergman’s contemporaries to all that we lovingly refer to as “Lynchian” – meaning films full of doppelgangers, repressed sexual tension, and the schizophrenic nature of the acting profession.

DOX Summer Cinema – David Lynch Season
DOX and the Ponrepo Cinema invite you to a series of summer movie nights under the stars and in the unfathomable, mysterious, and deeply captivating universe of David Lynch. High-quality headphone sound, views of the Gulliver Airship, and refreshing summer drinks and nine screenings.
The Wizard of Oz
The classic family film The Wizard of Oz contains all the themes that characterise David Lynch's work. Dreamlike logic of the narrative, the presence of supernatural beings, the exploration of new alternative dimensions with different ‘rules of the game’ and the moving musical interludes. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Wild at Heart
Youth, passion, obsession, murder – David Lynch’s portrait of the American dream. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Sunset Boulevard
A fraught tale of artistic ego is set in the now forgotten but mythical world of Hollywood studios, which never ceased to fascinate David Lynch. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Lost Highway
David Lynch's dreamlike work mixes an abstract plane with references to the most idiosyncratic noir films. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
8½
An award-winning existential comedy drama by the much admired Italian director Federico Fellini. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me
A feature-length theatrical film dedicated to the seemingly familiar story of the fallen angel from Twin Peaks. In this revolutionary prequel for its time, Lynch follows the ill-fated diva on a cocaine-fuelled ride through hell. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Lolita
A cinematic treatment of Vladimir Nabokov's famous novel, in which the obsessive roots of David Lynch's paternal yet infantile incestuous parental figures are confronted with absurdly comic and terrifyingly demonic messengers of absolute evil. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Blue Velvet
The dark film, which smacks of sex, drugs, and ’60s suburbia, is at times a coming-of-age flick, at times a noir whodunit, and for the most part an undeniably and unexpectedly violent thriller. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
Persona
From Ibsen, Pirandello and Vertov to Bergman's contemporaries and everything we affectionately refer to as ‘Lynchian’, films full of doubles, repressed sexual tension and the schizophrenic nature of the acting profession. The movie is screened in the DOX Summer Cinema on the terrace of DOX+.
