Dune (1984)

0 upcoming performances in New York

David Lynch’s 1984 *Dune* brings Frank Herbert’s desert-planet saga to the screen as a political and spiritual struggle over power, ecology, and prophecy. Shot largely in Mexico City, it pairs a large ensemble cast with a score shaped by Toto and Brian Eno. Now screening at MoMA, the film sits in New York’s long tradition of repertory exhibition where ambitious studio-era experiments are reconsidered in public. One clear takeaway is its uneasy balance of grand myth and intimate dread, a tension that still defines how viewers argue with it.
