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 Wilt at Heart.
The screening will be introduced by Marie Barešová, curator of the National Film
Archive.
Youth, passion, obsession, murder – David Lynch’s portrait of the American dream. The film is an adaptation of Barry Gifford’s novel Wild at Heart (1990), which was dedicated to the late noir writer Charles Willeford. Lynch was captivated by the text and he developed the screenplay in six days. Eighty people walked out during the film’s first public screening, one hundred during the second. But less than a year later Wild at Heart won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Sailor Ripley (Nicolas Cage) and Lula Fortune (Laura Dern) set out on a road trip to escape the girl’s mother Marietta (Diane Ladd), who wants to destroy their relationship. During their journey, they get into unexpected and unforgettable situations. By keeping the psychology of the characters to a minimum, a genuine snakeskin-clad icon emerges – one that we can adore like a Hollywood star from the middle of last century.
“It was the perfect time to read that book, because the world was coming unglued then. There were drugs on Hollywood Boulevard and it was scary to go down there at night; there were gangs out in the Valley and you’d hear gunshots every night – the world was going insane and I saw this as a love story in the middle of hellish insanity.” – David Lynch

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.
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 – SOLD OUT
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+.
