Dune : The Uberlynch Version. I love the Spicediver Edit. It takes as much of the availabile footage and orders the scenes to match the structure of the book more and removes the worst changes. I watched it in Monochrome once as I heard a rumour that Lynch toyed with the idea as his first two hits had been in beautiful black and white. It’s really good. The monochrome hides some of the worst effects compositing and the grainier deleted scenes stand out less. One thing about Lynch films in general is they have a strange dreamlike stilted feel. Lynch says his films make 100% sense but he purposely removes scenes or exposition that might explain how it makes sense. That way the viewer is given room to piece the narrative together. However in Dune he makes the unique choice of giving everyone a voiceover even characters we only see a few times. I like it a lot but it does remove that Lynchian mystery. So what I’m proposing is essentially the Spicediver edit in monochrome (possibly with the exception of the eyes) but with all internal monologue and expositional introductions removed and maybe the Baron’s death trimmed to just a needle scratch. I’m curious to see how much the film holds up without the exposition.
