Even more than most of David Lynch's deliberately bizarre and idiosyncratic movies, IDune/I is a "love-it-or-hate-it" affair. An ambitious, epic, utterly mind-boggling--and, let's admit it, all-out weird--adaptation of Frank Herbert's classic science fiction novel, IDune/I remains one of the most controversial films in the director's exceedingly provocative career. The story (if IDune/I can be said to have just one story) is complex and convoluted in the epic tradition; it has something to do with political intrigue and a planet that is home to a precious spice and gigantic sand worms. Think Shakespeare's IHenry IV/I with a dash of ITremors/I, and set in another galaxy. But despite plenty of strangely whispered voice-overs that explain the characters' thoughts (and endlessly detailed exposition), storytelling is not really among the film's strong points. There are, however, a lot of memorably fantastic/grotesque images, an extraordinary cast, and a soundtrack featuring Toto. I told you it was weird. Among the stars are Kyle MacLachlan, José Ferrer, Dean Stockwell, Brad Dourif, Sting, Kenneth McMillan, Patrick Stewart, Sean Young, and Linda Hunt. I--Jim Emerson/I

 A visually stunning though fairly dreadful and confusing movie November 5, 2009
B. Nelson (Glen Arm, MD USA)
This is a good film to watch once because it has some very visually stunning images and it makes you think, though not a very good film, just messy and confusing with good bits and awful bits. I think the movie could have been amazing, but sadly it isn't. The overall story is completely mind-boggling dealing with giant worms, psychics, dreams, other realities dimensions, ecology, a spiritual world, and of course a valuable spice which everyone seems to be after.

I set my mind to reviewing David Lynch's film 'Dune.' I sat diligently, adopting my usual scrupulous technique: watch twice, jot down points, events, slivers of music, shudders, inane trivia etc - then write it all up on the WP to be sliced down to a palatable size later...
br /Blankness.
br /
br /So, basics: Did I enjoy it? -- yes, very much. Did it have breathtaking set design and production values which left the inferior 'Bladerunner' in its dust.. comprehensively. Was I horrified and delighted in equal measure by the antics of the prime villain - Baron Harkonnen ? -- indeed I was. Was the music suggestive and grandiose..? The Sand-Worms completely awesome....? Sting bad...?
br /Yes, and more...
br /
br /Lynch is a curious film director. His films are not like anybody else's. People go on about them - say things like: "Lynch doesn't normally do sci-fi, but you could argue that ALL his films are sci-fi..." Heavy stuff like that.
br /Some admit that they do/don't/can't/won't understand them - others imagine. Some can't see the point in bothering...
br /
br /All his films are comedies - Kyle MacLachlan's 'Dune' voiceover for example, is as pointed a clue without being blatant - and is otherwise inexplicable.
br /Much like 'La Cabina,' funny/weird people start the day with just a suggestion of funny/weird, escalating into hardcore funny/weird by the final quarter.
br /As someone who doesn't understand film at all, I have to wonder how Lynch gets finance. Imagine taking 'Lost Highway' to a bunch of execs and hoping for some millions to make it happen... yet happen it did. Does anybody think studio money-men are sympathetic to an 'artist' ? Lynch is bankable you say...?
br /
br /Lynch's 'Dune' is a surgical burrowing through the bowels of an enormous omnibus of a novel. The plot is helpfully zilch: a spice controls the universe; everyone wants it; shenanigans ensue when they all try to get it; big battle.
br /Cue 'Prophecy' theme.
br /Why everybody makes SUCH a fuss is beyond me: "Fans and critics alike, are divided in equal measure..." What? Why.....!?
br /
br /Then again, why would anyone even contemplate reviewing 'Dune' ? It's a movie, it runs about 2 ¼ hours and is big and quite exciting.
br /It's a David Lynch film, and that means you can spout the most abstract, pompous, selfish, insanely reversed clap-trap about it - and people will still take you seriously.
br /(And despite the proximity of incendiary words like 'spice,' 'girl' and 'power,' I've resisted all temptation to mention Mel B's extraordinary breasts - so delightfully omnipresent in all sections of modern media. Aren't I the good boy...?)
