Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Is Lynch's work directly indebted to that of Alfred Hitchcock? Why are two directors so peculiar and, on the surface, so different--though perhaps not so much at heart--trained in such diverse contexts, interested in the same themes? These are some of the questions this enlightening essay by Almudena L oacute, pez Molina, delving into the perspectives shared by 'Vertigo' and 'Mulholland Drive, ' two titles that exemplify the style and artistic vision of their creators. On the other hand, it is also interesting to examine in depth Lynch's filmography --especially in works such as 'Lost Highway' or 'Twin Peaks'--to determine how references to Hitchcock's traits are a constant throughout his career and, at the same time, how he distances himself from the iconic British filmmaker, forging an indisputably personal vision. Considering both works as paradigms of their time, this reflection on the various ways of approaching similar themes will allow us to highlight, in each case, the essential features of two fascinating films that marked a turning point in the history of cinema.
