Dune (1984)

A film by David Lynch

This is probably Lynch's lesser film and he admits it himself. His hands were tied and he was not given freedom to direct, and was scheduled too strictly. The cast is good, the sets are good, but the script is not, and the film is too elongated.

"Huge, hollow, unimaginative and cold." - Variety

"This movie is a real mess, an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion into the murkier realms of one of the most confusing screenplays of all time." - Roger Ebert

"Dune was a failure to me because I didn't feel I did, you know, the Dune I should have done." - David Lynch, during the interview with Mark Cousins, BBC
