"Lynch/Oz" examines the significant influence of "The Wizard of Oz" on the work of filmmaker David Lynch. The documentary explores how themes, imagery, and cultural references from Fleming's classic film resonate throughout Lynch's career, from his early shorts to acclaimed series like "Twin Peaks." It investigates the deep connection between these two distinct cinematic visions and considers whether "The Wizard of Oz" serves as a lasting touchstone in Lynch’s artistic expression.
