For details see: https://rexbern.ch/filmreihen/david-lynch

Meeting time allows us 15 minutes before the film starts to find each other - please be on time so we can get seats together. In English with German subtitles.

Note: Tickets can also be reserved one week in advance and if the films prove popular I will probably reserve my seats to be sure of getting in. In that case, I will publish my seat number on Meetup Bern.

=========================
Tonight's movie: Dune is a 1984 American epic space opera film written and directed by David Lynch, and based on the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert. It was filmed at the Churubusco Studios in Mexico City. The soundtrack was composed by the rock band Toto, with a contribution from Brian Eno. Its large ensemble cast includes Kyle MacLachlan (in his film debut), Patrick Stewart, Brad Dourif, Dean Stockwell, Virginia Madsen, José Ferrer, Sean Young, Silvana Mangano, Sting, Linda Hunt, and Max von Sydow.

After the novel's initial success, attempts to adapt Dune as a film began in 1971. A lengthy process of development followed throughout the 1970s. In 1981, executive producer Dino De Laurentiis hired Lynch as director. The film has developed a cult following, but opinion varies between fans of the novel and fans of Lynch's films.
