A retro sci-fi thriller that’s Executive Produced by Steven Soderbergh, Divinity recently premiered at Sundance, and the film is getting a wide theatrical release later this week.
From distributors Utopia and Sumerian, Divinity opens nationwide in theaters on Friday, November 3, following limited theatrical rollouts in New York and Los Angeles.

Two experimental films executive produced by Steven Soderbergh — Eddie Alcazar’s Divinity and Godfrey Reggio’s Once Within a Time – join Neon’s anticipated Cannes Palme d’Or winner Anatomy of a Fall in theaters today, a bit of counterprogramming on a weekend dominated by Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.
Divinity, about a dark and creepy future populated by bodybuilders hooked on an elixir for eternal life, “was always made for the theater,” said Alcazar. “But it’s kind of a roll of the dice of what a distributor wants to do with it.” Utopia, which acquired the black-and-white romp — set mostly in a mansion on a desert that looks like the moon — after its Sundance premiere (see Deadline review), opens Divinity at Regal Union Square in NYC, expanding to Los Angeles next week, with a national rollout on 11/3.
There will be opening-weekend Q&As with Alcazar, Soderbergh, star Stephen Dorff and DJ Muggs.

The future looks more purgatorial than paradisiacal in “Divinity,” Eddie Alcazar’s second feature as writer-director. Like the first, 2018’s “Perfect,” this is a cryptic sci-fi body horror allegory where undeniably arresting aesthetics are nonetheless more a symptom of shallow lookism-based values than the intended critique. Stephen Dorff plays a wealthy recluse peddling the titular mystery serum, which promises eternal youth — though, naturally, there may be drawbacks. This invention attracts attention not just from consumers, but from apparent space aliens who arrive to halt its disturbance of the natural order.
Those looking for midnight-movie eccentricity will find much to enjoy in the black-and-white film’s mix of the trippy, queasy and erotic. But as before, the effortfully quirky elements don’t really add up to a cogent whole, resulting in something a mite too reflective of its creator’s background in commercials and game design — a rarefied, stimulating surface without depth.

Forsake all those who search for “Divinity,” the otherworldly Sundance breakout epic based on the search for immortality.
Eddie Alcazar writes and directs the film, executive produced by Steven Soderbergh and distributed by Utopia and Sumerian.
Set in an otherworldly human existence, scientist Sterling Pierce (Scott Bakula) dedicated his life to the quest for immortality, slowly creating the building blocks of a groundbreaking serum named Divinity. Jaxxon Pierce (Stephen Dorff), his son, now controls and manufactures his father’s once-benevolent dream. Society on this barren planet has been entirely perverted by the supremacy of the drug, whose true origins are shrouded in mystery. Two mysterious brothers (Moises Arias and Jason Genao) arrive with a plan to abduct the mogul, and with the help of a seductive woman named Nikita (Karrueche Tran), they will be set on a path hurtling toward true immortality.
Bella Thorne, Mike O’Hearn, and Emily Willis also star.

‘The Sweet East’ Review: ‘Good Time’ Dp Sean Price Williams Hits the Road in Promising Feature Debut
Festival reviews just love to hype a breakout performance, to the extent that one worries about becoming the little critic that cried breakout. But here goes: Talia Ryder, lead actor in “The Sweet East,” is a star. There’s something of Kristen Stewart about her, not merely in terms of physical resemblance, but more in her gift for not just acting but reacting. That’s fortunate, because her character is generally surrounded by extremely chatty blowhards, most of them interested only in the role she might play for them in their own lives. She lies constantly about her identity and where she’s from, and these lies go down easy because nobody is particularly invested in who she might actually be — they’re too keen to fit her into their own mythology.

Studiocanal is releasing a newly re-mastered version of David Lynch’s 2006 surreal mystery drama “Inland Empire,” which is set to hit theaters in the U.K. and France later this month.
Supervised by Lynch, the new 4K master was undertaken by The Criterion Collection with the support of Studiocanal. It features 5.1 surround DTS-hd Master Audio and uncompressed stereo soundtracks, newly remastered by Lynch and original rerecording mixers Dean Hurley and Ron Eng.
The first digitally shot feature from the famed director of such cult works as “The Elephant Man,” “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive,” “Inland Empire” stars Laura Dern as Nikki, a once-celebrated actress who lands the lead role in a film by director Kingsley Stewart (Jeremy Irons) alongside co-star Devon (Justin Theroux). The production is a remake of a work filmed several years ago but never finished because the main actors died before shooting wrapped.

Welcome back again to our ongoing Blu-ray release column! As always, I've gathered up some of the best new Blu-ray releases for you in one handy place. Here you'll learn if something is worth actually picking up on physical media — or if you can just skip a title and wait for it to show up on streaming. But I can't stress enough how important physical media is, folks! Streaming titles vanish — physical media is forever. Unless your house burns down or something like that, in which case you've got other, bigger problems to deal with.

Unless you're a silly goose who counts "Twin Peaks: The Return" as a movie, "Inland Empire" is, as of this writing, the last film David Lynch directed. There will always be hope that Lynch will return with a new movie, but as of now that doesn't seem likely. Which means "Inland Empire" holds...

If the rumors are true, David Lynch has embarked on his next series (known as Unrecorded Night or Wisteria) this month. While we likely won’t have any official word for some time, the director has released another project, teaming with fellow Transcendental Meditation practitioner Donovan, who turns 75. Lynch has directed the music video for Donovan’s single I Am The Shaman (which appeared on his 2010 album Ritual Groove) co-produced by Lynch and mixed by Twin Peaks: The Return‘s sound designer Dean Hurley.
“It was all impromptu,” Donovan said on his Fb page (via Brooklyn Vegan). “I visited the studio and David said, ‘Sit at the mics with your guitar Don’. David in same room behind control desk with my Linda. He had asked me to only bring in a song just emerging, not anywhere near finished. We would see what happens. It happened!”

Earlier this week, David Lynch surprise-released a characteristically bizarre short film, What Did Jack Do?, in which he plays a hard-boiled cop interrogating an unlikely murder suspect: a monkey named Jack Cruz. Not only does Jack talk back to the cop in the film, he also sings, and now Lynch and the suit-wearing monkey have released a special seven-inch single via Sacred Bones.
Written by Lynch and Dean Hurley, both tracks — “True Love’s Flame” and “Dancin’ in the World of Love” — are hilariously sentimental ballads filled with slow, soft drums and saccharine strings.

David Lynch’s life as filmmaker began with sound. While attending the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, Lynch was working on a painting of a woman in a garden when he heard the sound of wind blowing. Suddenly, the painting started to move. This peculiar experience singlehandedly shaped Lynch’s belief that cinema is a moving painting — or, as he once put it to The Philadelphia Inquirer: “It’s sound and picture.” Over four decades and a dozen films later, Lynch has pushed cinematic soundscapes to experimental extremes and has created a cinematic language rooted in sound design. “People always talk about the look of a film, they don’t talk so much about the sound of a film,” Lynch said in the documentary “Making Waves.” “But it’s equally important. Sometimes more important.”

Sky Ferreira has been taking her time — more than five years, to be exact. That’s how long it’s been since her 2013 debut, Night Time, My Time, a riotous alt-pop dream that raised major expectations for her long-promised follow-up. Her new single, “Downhill Lullaby,” is our first glimpse of the album she’s titled Masochism, and her first chance to deliver on half a decade of promises and hopes. You can hear her careful construction and undiminished ambitions in every second of the song.

Among the many darkly mystifying and enigmatically surreal sequences that populate director David Lynch’s “Twin Peaks” revival, the eighth episode offers one its most compelling: Mr. C — the Black Lodge doppelganger of Special Agent Dale Cooper (both played by Kyle MacLachlan) — stops on a lonely, darkened highway to confront his traveling companion Ray Monroe (George Griffith) at gunpoint. After Ray shoots the evil entity himself, a bizarre pack of grimy, shadowy woodsmen emerges from the forest and tears C apart, extracting a sack containing the face of Bob, the series’ longstanding malignant spirit. Lynch leaves the sequence to be interpreted and decoded by the audience — and his crew, which shoots scenes without an exact linear context.

Sound in television has, arguably, always played second fiddle to the images. And as with other sound professionals on the top contending shows in the sound categories, Dean Hurley, supervising sound editor on Showtime’s “Twin Peaks,” worked hard to craft a cinematic aural landscape despite challenges ranging from “the usual technical ones,” as he puts it, to the accelerated post schedules of today’s TV shows.
“David Lynch likes to take his time with sound, and it was hard working within the conventions of a TV series and allowing him the usual freedom he enjoys,” says Hurley, who’s worked for Lynch for 13 years. “We did all the picture editing and sound editorial at his home studio, mixing in 5.1 and taking about a week per episode — and we had 18 episodes. It’s a very fluid process, with lots of improvisation and experimentation, and David’s very hands-on. He’s...

David Lynch often tells the origin story about the moment when, as a student at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, he started to think of himself as filmmaker. While working on a painting of a woman in a garden at night, he took a smoke and looked at his work. He started to hear wind, and then the green in the painting started to move.
“And the next thought is, ‘Oh, a moving painting,'” said Lynch in 2014, ahead of retrospective of his work at his alma mater. “And that’s what started it: It’s sound and picture.” Soon after Lynch made his first short film, the stop-motion animated short “Six Men Getting Sick (Six Times),” which went on to win the Academy’s student competition for best experimental work.
“In the telling of that story, people skip over the wind part and jump to the painting started to move,...

Hear the words “Twin Peaks” and a few names immediately come to mind: David Lynch, Mark Frost, Kyle MacLachlan, Michael Cera, etc. Less mentioned is executive producer Sabrina S. Sutherland, a longtime Lynch associate whose presence and input was no less an absolute necessity in the series’ conception, creation, completion, and, now, home-video release. Charting the show’s production — inasmuch as one can get access to what, even after its completion, remains a secretive process — will make clear that, when all’s said and done, she’s perhaps second only to the beloved auteur as an authority.
It was thus my great pleasure to speak with her at this year’s Camerimage International Film Festival, where I also managed to see the two-hour premiere and attend an hour-long Q & A with Lynch.

The Camerimage International Film Festival, hosted annually in the city of Bydgoszcz, Poland, places the least-exposed of documentary, narrative, and short-subject cinema side-by-side with the largest productions staged by any entities, studio- and television-wise, in a given year. The result, thanks in at least some part to jet lag I never fully kick, is dizzying in the most stimulating of ways: it’s possible to run run from The Shape of Water to, downstairs, a Georgian documentary about small-town living, and, excepting the obvious matter of what gets a bigger screening space, not find any greater or lesser amount of respect afforded to one over the other. You still wouldn’t necessarily expect that the hottest ticket by a country kilometer gets you into two TV episodes that have been widely available throughout the world for nearly six months. Being an annual assembly of international and, often, difficult-to-encounter cinema, that could raise eyebrows,...

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.Much of David Lynch's work is about regression, or regressiveness, about people who are most comfortable when indulging (really, hiding behind) their baser instincts. An acid-jazz saxophonist with murder on his mind might take refuge in the body and soul of a teenage delinquent (Lost Highway), or a midwestern girl who has played and lost the Hollywood game might concoct a candy-colored dream-life in which she finally attains Tinseltown stardom (Mulholland Dr.). But these escapes always prove to be traps, and cyclical ones at that. What goes around comes around. What has happened before will happen again. Even Blue Velvet's Dorothy Vallens (Isabella Rossellini), finally liberated from her abusive sexual relationship with Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper), "still can see blue velvet through my tears.

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series."Did you like that song?" the boy (Xolo Mariduena) asks the girl (Tikaeni Faircrest). His words are hesitant and tentative—tinged with naiveté, therefore open and earnest. "Yes," the girl replies, playing along with the courtship ritual. "I did like that song." Yet there's a sense in the slight pause between his question and her answer that she could say anything. That awkward dead space is filled with possibilities—positive, negative and in-between. And what excitement there is in that. This exchange comes toward the end of Part 8 of Mark Frost and David Lynch's revived Twin Peaks, though the quiet beauty of the moment is offset by the many horrors (and wonders) that precede it…and that, will indeed, follow it. It's easy...

After two years on the road supporting her breakthrough 2011 LP Conatus, Nika Roza Danliova decided it was time for a break. The 25-year-old songwriter better known as Zola Jesus discovered that Los Angeles is a difficult place to concentrate. "Writing in my apartment, I could hear the sounds of the city," she says. "It was really distracting, hearing my neighbor blasting Rihanna. You don't ever feel at peace to create something that feels very personal or intimate."

Our most recent encounter with David Lynch – that renaissance man of all things dark, bizarre and dreamy – was his surreal, confusing and lightly scary music video for Nine Inch Nails' single “Came Back Haunted,” which brought together some of Lynch's earliest creative themes (high-contrast photography, alien textures and horrific, distorted faces) and his more recent obsessions with digital animation. It's no surprise then that Lynch's own musical career, which includes collaborations with a wide assortment of artists, also brings together sounds and themes spanning his entire creative canon. His work with composer Angelo Badalamenti on films like Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive is the stuff of legend, and he previously worked with Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor on one of his most disturbing films, Lost Highway (my personal favorite, haters be damned). Over the past decade or so, he's devoted considerably more time to music, setting up his...

What started as a musical experiment is flourishing into a full-on recording career for David Lynch. The legendary director of such films as Blue Velvet and Lost Highway is set to release his second album, The Big Dream, on July 16. The follow-up to his solo debut, 2011’s Crazy Clown Time, the album (distributed by Sacred Bones) features a cover of Bob Dylan’s "The Ballad of Hollis Brown" and a bonus track with Swedish singer-songwriter Lykke Li (hear it here). Lynch describes the collection as “modern blues.” It was recorded with engineer by Dean Hurley over several

Followup to Crazy Clown Time will be 'more confident' and feature a Dylan cover and a collaboration with Lykke Li
David Lynch is to release a second solo album, described as a "tighter" and "more confident" followup to 2011's Crazy Clown Time. The Big Dream, due on 15 July, includes a cover of a Bob Dylan song and a collaboration with Swedish indie star Lykke Li.
Whereas Lynch's last LP was generally portrayed as a weird dance album, The Big Dream is described as "a hybrid, modernised form of low-down blues". "Most of the songs start out as a type of blues jam and then we go sideways from there," Lynch said in a statement. "The blues is an honest and emotional form of music that is thrilling to the soul. I keep coming back to it because it feels so good."

It's pretty much a no-brainer that any product from the legendary David Lynch is going to be more than a little bit creepy. Surrealism is his stock in trade, whether it's the groundbreaking experimental feature Eraserhead, sexy meta-horror films like Mulholland Drive, or his unforgettably insane TV series Twin Peaks. But over the last couple of years, Lynch has been spending a lot more time on his musical output – mainly his album Crazy Clown Time and a variety of multimedia projects tied to that record. The album itself is classic Lynch: dark, rumbling and repetitive bass lines, industrial noisescapes, punchy percussion, bluesy guitar leads (from the skillful Dean Hurley) and nightmarish production effects, with Lynch supplying most of the vocals on top, often digitally altered in bizarre and comical ways. While the recent video from that album's title track was a whacked-out stream of consciousness romp (including drunk topless women,...

David Lynch has remixed the track 'In Your Nature' by Zola Jesus. The singer-songwriter, born Nika Roza Danilova, told Pitchfork that despite refusing all official remixes of her music in the past, she could not turn down the iconic filmmaker. "I feel like reinterpreting something can remove its context," she said. "But when David Lynch asks to remix your song, you let him." The reworking of the Conatus album track features new instruments from Lynch and engineer Dean Hurley. The track is available to stream on the Pitchfork website now and will feature on the digital and 7" vinyl single release of 'In Your Nature' through Sacred Bones on February 21. Of the possibility of Lynch directing a music video for her in the future, she said: "I don't ask those questions, (more)...

Almost as if they knew today was Halloween, NPR has offered up a free stream of Crazy Clown Time, the much anticipated debut album from director David Lynch. Eleanor Kagan writes:
“To those familiar with (Lynch’s) tendencies, the content of Crazy Clown Time should come as no surprise. Written, performed and produced by Lynch with engineer Dean Hurley, Lynch’s first solo album finds him meandering through a series of dark dreams and visceral meditations on modern life and society.”
Indeed, the album is a beguiling, often unsettling listen. In other words, it’s unmistakably Lynchian. Many of the songs call to mind the eerie incandescence of Twin Peak’s Roadhouse, Mulholland Drive’s Club Silencio, or Lynch’s earlier musical endeavors (specifically his early 90s work with singer-songwriter Julee Cruise.) And with the recent news of Lynch opening a real-life Club Silencio in Paris, one wonders if a tour is perhaps in order.

If you thought David Lynch’s films were weird, hypnotic, and surreal, wait till you hear his music. Crazy Clown Time, Lynch’s first-ever solo album, is set to be released on November 7th internationally and on November 8th in North America. However, you can enjoy the first track from the album through David Lynch’s Facebook page by clicking here or just by scrolling below. The song weaves a bizarre tale of girls taking off their dresses and boys pouring beers on them all set against a trance inducing beat that seems fitting for a dark and grimy strip-club. It’s very reminiscent and recalls images from the nightclub scene in Fire Walk With Me. Lynch wrote, produced, and performed the entire album with help from engineer Dean Hurley, who also plays guitar and drums on several songs. Karen O from the band the Yeah Yeah Yeahs provides guest...

Let it never be said that iconic director David Lynch is afraid to go in a different direction. From the haunting Elephant Man to the legendarily weird Twin Peaks, Lynch has never been shy about going his own way, blazing a trail since his first feature effort, Eraserhead.
This fall David Lynch will be making his solo debut as a musical artist, releasing the album Crazy Clown Time. Described by Lynch as "modern blues", Crazy Clown Time definitely has an electronic feel with its pulsating rhythms and hypnotizing lyrics. This is music that is tailor-made for fans of Lynch's films: atmospheric, dark, and moody.
This is far from David Lynch's first trip into music, writing "In Heaven" with Pete Ivers for Eraserhead and collaborating with others for many of his projects (Twin Peaks, Inland Empire, and Dark Night of the Soul).

Whether it’s art, films, weather reports or everything in between, David Lynch is a constant innovator. But music? David Lynch is gearing up for his solo singing debut on Crazy Clown Time.
Visionary filmmaker David Lynch will make his solo debut as a musical artist this fall with Crazy Clown Time. Produced and written by Lynch, the album’s 14 original songs spotlight him on guitar and vocals. The album will be released on November 8 by independent British label Sunday Best Recordings / Pias in America.
Two tracks released late last year – “Good Day Today” and “I Know” – already have American and British critics buzzing about the album. The Los Angeles Times writes: “Frightening effects and mysterious lyrics: this is Lynch’s most unexpected venture to date.” The BBC declares: “Now David Lynch leaves his stamp on the music world as well…” The Washington Post adds: “Every bit as pleasantly odd...

David Lynch is one of the most enigmatic and eccentric film directors (in a good way) that I know of. He has always pushed the envelope with his experimental style in his feature films and televsion work. I recently had the pleasure of watching Twin Peaks in it's entirety and I loved every minute of it.
The album is set for release this fall and will have 14 original songs that feature Lynch on guitar and vocals. Music has played such an integral part in all of his work on screen, so this album is one that I am interested in hearing.

Film director David Lynch is flexing his music muscles yet again. The surrealist auteur has been humming about another full-length album for some time, even releasing two electro-pop singles last year through an independent UK label. But it looks like Crazy Clown Time, his newest solo album of electronic pop music, will finally hit the shelves (online and physical) on November 8, via Sunday Best Recordings.
Pitchfork reported that along with engineer Dean Hurley, Lynch wrote, produced, and performed every track on the album. The first track features guest vocals from Yeah Yeah Yeahs lead singer Karen O.
Why the draw to electronic music? The Guardian asked Lynch in November 2010. "Well, I love electricity so it sort of stands to reason that I would like electronics," he said.
He also told Entertainment Weekly in 2010 that his aim was to concoct a "modern blues album."

David Lynch, the man behind so many of my recurring nightmares, is dropping an album. First, the basics: The album is called Crazy Clown Time, which is terrifying. Second, it features guest vocals from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman/tornado Karen O on a song called "Pinky's Dream," which had better be about Pinky and the Brain. Lynch wrote, produced, and performed the entire album with some input from engineer Dean Hurley, who also plays guitar and drums on some of the tracks. The first track (the one posted below) came out a while ago, but the full track listing of the album was made public today, and so here it is, in its entirety. 1. "Pinky's Dream" 2.

David Lynch ("Mulholland Drive," "The Elephant Man") has revealed that footage thought lost forever from what some consider his greatest masterpiece, 1986's "Blue Velvet", was recently discovered and will be included in the upcoming Blu-ray release reports Blu-ray.com.
For those who haven't seen it, 'Velvet' blends mystery, film noir, sex and surrealism in the story of a college student (Kyle Maclachlan) who comes across a human ear in a field in his hometown. With the help of a high school student (Laura Dern), his investigations into his hometown's seedy underworld lead him to a beautiful singer (Isabella Rossellini) and a brutal and twisted criminal (Dennis Hopper).
Still infamous to this day, the film essentially launched Rossellini's film career and re-launched Hopper's. It also caused a firestorm of reaction for its explicitness and dark depiction of American suburbia, yet earned many accolades and is considered by many to be one...

Watch the Lady Dior film Here
David Lynch has premiered his sixteen minute commercial for Lady Dior and it is every bit as ‘Lynch’ as you might expect.
Apparently David Lynch was allowed to do pretty much what he liked when creating this mini-movie providing it featured Old Shanghai, the Oriental Pearl Tower (incidentally Lynch did not know what this was beforehand) and, of course, the swish Lady Dior bag itself. Inspiration came from his own short poem.
The rich and moody film entitled Lady Blue Shanghai is third in the Lady Dior advertising series, or chapter, or saga – or is it art? What’s obvious is that you do not hire David Lynch and give him creative carte blanche solely to shift handbags.
There is some definite artistic expression on display and Lynch even composed the music along with Dean Hurley whom he worked with on Inland Empire (2006). Regardless...

Remember the recent news that David Lynch helmed a short film for Christian Dior's current ad campaign? Following in the footsteps of Olivier Dahan and Annie Leibovitz, the filmmaker wrote a poem about Shanghai and morphed it into this brief, bag-centric tale where Marion Cotillard visits the city for the first time and has a strange encounter with a man, a hand bag, and a blue flower. The film has now hit Dior's website, and you can check it out after the jump.
Lady Bleu is classic Lynch thriving in deep reds and rich blues, with an eerie vibrating score (it sounds like classic Angelo Badalamenti, but it's Lynch with Dean Hurley), strange characters, and timelessness resulting from a mixture of old and new. Of course, without the omg look at this bag! focus, the film would be even better, as even Lynch can't make the product placement look...
