Basically 6 video essays where critics/academics/industry figures talk about the influence of the Wizard of Oz on David Lynch's work. With an exceedingly pretentious introduction.
And that's it.
Nobody is interviewed on screen, it's all narrated off screen. Like an arthouse version of one of those TV clips shows about "the glory days of the movies".
The point came across in the first essay. The rest added hardly anything. Clips are repeated endlessly because all the the essayists talk about the deceitful wizard, and curtains, and slow fades.
Honourable mention to John Waters for getting involved. Him talking about his own meetings with Lynch is the most interesting thing on offer. Shame it's buried in this bore of a documentary.
