David Lynch praised his film Quentin Tarantino of 2019, “Once Upon A Time In Hollywood” (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood).

In the latest issue of “Cahiers du Cinema”, the American director emphasized how good a “revenge film” Tarantino’s film work is.

“Tarantino’s ‘Once Upon A Time in Hollywood’ shows how real-life events could have turned out very differently. It’s a good revenge movie, very well shot,” he noted.

Despite his insistence on not seeing that many new movies, Lynch seems to be a Tarantino fan.

In the same interview, David Lynch, who directed the previous big screen adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1984 novel Dune, revealed his thoughts on Denis Villeneuve’s film version.

The subject of “Dune” remains a sore point in the director’s career to the extent that he can’t bear to see the new 2021 film. “I will never see it and I don’t even want you to ever talk to me about it,” Lynch said.

In 1981, producer Dino De Laurentiis hired Lynch to direct the film Dune, but the production was troubled from the start, as there were technical and health issues during filming in Mexico. In addition, the producer clashed with Lynch over his decision to avoid the film looking like a “Star Wars” copycat.

The issues extended into post-production, when De Laurentiis and Universal studio cut David Lynch’s five-hour version down to two hours for theatrical release.

“Looking back, I don’t think it’s anyone’s fault but mine. I probably shouldn’t have made this movie, but I saw so much potential for things I loved and this was the structure to do them,” the director said.
