Since 2001, Trevor Lynch has developed a fervent following with his insightful and sometimes vicious dissections of philosophical, political, racial, and sexual themes in a wide variety of films and television shows.
Trevor Lynch: Part Four of the Trilogy
is his fourth anthology, covering thirty-three films, including two documentaries, plus two TV shows.
Lynch includes extensive essays on David Lynch's
Blue Velvet
and
Lost Highway,
as well as a shorter treatment of
The Straight Story
. He also offers detailed commentaries on Stanley Kubrick's
Eyes Wide Shut
, Akira Kurosawa's
High and Low
, Sidney Lumet's
Network
, Luchino Visconti's
The Leopard
, David Fincher's
Fight Club,
and John Huston's
Wise Blood.
Other outstanding reviews interpret Martin Scorsese's
The Aviator
, Blake Edwards'
Breakfast at Tiffany's
, John Schlesinger's
Far from the Madding Crowd
, Anthony Minghella's
The Talented Mr. Ripley
, and René Clément's
Purple Noon
.
Lynch gives special attention to a number of films that convey politically incorrect messages, often in spite of themselves, such as
American Pimp
,
Cabaret
Look Who's Back
Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
Quiz Show
Richard Jewell
Starship Troopers
, and
Storytelling
Finally, Lynch hilariously pans
Gattaca
, the finale of
Game of Thrones
Joker
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
further burnishes its author's status as a leading New Right cultural critic.
