Lynch movies have changed my life, if I had the money I would be throwing it at him to make more movies
Amazing documentary, thank you for that, Mario. To me, David has more than four children and by that, I mean to be an Artistic Father to so many young Vanguard creatives. I watched Twin Peaks when 8 y.o., parents slept and I had access to the remote. 8 y.o. - I was glued to the screen. In my Art career, I was recognised, and can solely dedicate this to David as David's art language spoke to my mental acuity, awakening innovation before I knew I had it. David's journey is a hard one, it's bliss he stayed true to himself, he knew. Extremely giving, kind, one of the greatest values anyone can have apart from stratospheric-size intelligence, mastery in various domains of knowledge, is cherishing life-long friendships/collaborations.
THANK YOU. The depth and scope of this Lynch documentary is outstanding.
I love Fire Walk With Me. I think it's my favorite of his films. I don't understand the backlash it got. For one, the tone being darker that the show was perfect, since we don't see the events of the show from Laura's perspective, but now we do, and for her the world isnt so quirky. Also, it works well having not seen the show at all. It encapsulates the main themes the show establishes though, so that's a win win. The nightmarish climax is seared into my brain.
Excellent video! Ive been looking for something like this about Woo
We live in a very different world than the one that produced David Lynch. In a world without the material conditions that make this kind of art possible, we seem doomed to repeat old forms, an eternal pastiche of 20thC culture stretched so thin that they barely qualify as "art".
This is amazing! Well done!
Fantastic work on this, wonderful research!
"Wild at heart" was a turd, but the "academic reviewers" were too busy licking Lynch's ass. They knew they fucked up and backlashed on him. So a movie that is actually good in "Fire walk with me", got cursed because the wind had changed.
David Lynch unconventional film work is notable to the distraction of common Hollywood script idea's and developed masterpieces such as Van Gogh or P. Picaso drawing up new cinema scopes that is today A Lync 'film noir' of and beyond our dimensions to broaden the horizon of film making its infancy from the invention of the HAM Radio to the development of the new age of Television broadcasting in his era to present time.
Fantastic job putting this together.
Very nice video. One minor fix. You initially say James Marshall is played by James Hurley. That should be reversed. 👍🏻
I like how people give Lynch shit for him wanting his films to be ambiguous, but they fail to see that his films are meant to emulate dreams which are ambiguous in nature lmao.
completely amazing video/doc, ty for your work, so many fascinating details and a fascinating story of originality, dedication, and finding your center, whether that is creatively or whatever your interests are in life. ty/peace
Amazing doc! Congratulations and thank you 🙏🏻
This is BRILLIANT! Thank you for making this!
As a child the elephant man's makeup really creeped me out. I couldn't watch it without being revolted. Now it just looks like a low budget paper mache mask. Dune was not hard to understand. I understood it as a teenager, though the characters seemed a bit one dimensional. Blue Velvet bored me. Mulholland Drive was slightly more interesting, but had to look to the internet to get insight into the weird stuff and what it might mean. Twin Peeks was the only work I that I really appreciated. The movie was just dumb.
Perfect creator's biography!
Really good video 👍
If I was to die I’d like Lynch to direct it.
I will never watch a Lynch film again. there is hardly ever a closure. I was so disappointed with" Twin Peaks - the return". it's ridiculous there are so many theories and explanation videos.
Haha fuck off then 😂 us fans will keep watching and enjoying the non closure
Turning auto closed captions on for this video would have been nice and given you a larger audience
This was awesome! Thanks so much
"You have a very interesting face, good night!" I kind of want this on my headstone now. :D
Waiting for another one of these videos been watching your videos for ten years
These are the clearest I have seen these shorts yet. Are they available in HD on bluray somewhere? The ones I have found have been repurposed from DVD editions.
Admirable scholarship, and perspective on the man. 💯
Seeing Mulholland Drive in a theater in 2001 was overpowering. I was literally weeping at the end; I couldn't control it. What baffles me about Lynch is how a guy could go from fairly basic student movies to the high level of impeccable craftsmanship and blocking and handling of world-class actors in his real Hollywood debut, The Elephant Man. I'm sure Eraserhead gave him a lot understanding of the process, but even so there's a huge leap in ability and craftsmanship there. How did a guy who was a painter become such a focused technician? When you see his segment in Lumiere and Co., they show him controlling the scene like an army general, which is so different from what we perceive as the way of a sensitive artist. In some ways, Lynch is just as much an enigma as his films.
Lumiere camera film is so good.
The British films crew helped all the way through it, including the cinematographer Freddie Francis. There would be no film without the crew. This deifying of Lynch is boring,
i also cried watching Mulholland drive
Watch this! ... if you're hesitant. It popped up on my feed because I'd just watched both hours of Red Letter Media's look back at "The Return". I didn't think I'd be up for watching another 2 hours on Lynch's career, but I previewed a little of this and couldn't stop watching! The writer and presenter seems like a chill dude and it's all put together with great taste, imo, that should appeal both to casual viewers and the hardcore Lynch mob. It's really sterling work, reminiscent of the quality arts docs BBC4 used to screen decades ago.
We know we know...but yer missing the details that are not in rehash info LYNCHIANS and sincere cinematic souls know...but it's fantastic to let the clueless know and that is beautiful.
Thank you!
The german word Stein is spelled like shine with an added t (shtine).
Excellent! I'm so glad I watched this. It was the most indepth comprehensive and real look at David Lynchs' whole career. There were many things I was unaware of some things being clarified for me. Especially things in his early career I was unaware of. Thanks so much for putting such a loving look at David. We haven't seen the last of him. 🎥🎞️🎬
Best biography / filmography on Lynch! No pretentious interpretations of his work, as done by so many pseudo-intellectuals. Excellent work, thank you sir.
+1
I been a fan of Lynch since 1992 when Fire Walk with me was released. I had the privilege in rubbing elbows with David in 2003 when him and Neff allowed our small production to use a BlueBob song 911 in our documentary that was about drug addiction in Vancouver BC. His daughter Jennifer facilitated the deal. Great job brother you put a lot of work into this.
Brilliant video. Amazing accomplishment, thank you.
Lynch is a GENIUS. His adaption of the weirding way (something way beyond the fx of the time) into a sound weapon was nothing short of brilliant, and it gave the actors unforgettable battle cries.
Don't care what anyone says, Lynch's Dune was WAY BETTER than than awful 2021 version; Lynch is King Midas, not even the impossible task of adapting Dune could best him (the film's failure was in the box office, not the thing itself).

And thanks for going all the way in on this doc!
Mr Lynch has done more for cinema than cinema can do.
Beautiful video about one of the greatest artists of cinema! Thank you for making it! You’ve done an amazing job!
Tony's gas ducks ...
I THINK the Eraserhead baby was a cow embryo (?) and it was kept on a LOT of ice. It was then manipulated like a hand puppet (?!) but I have no idea how they got the eyes to move! I did not eat oatmeal for 10 years after I saw that scene where he cuts it open. I had first seen Eraserhead when it was still "a cult movie" at the 8th Street Playhouse in NYC , 1980 proper. It sparked my taste into the "weird zone" with movies in general (with Rocky Horror being my "bootcamp" the year before) . My taste in music was just abandoning "classic rock" for punk & new wave. It was a wonderful time to be "that college age" in the NYC area!
The things I've learned in the years since Twin Peaks aired and I've became the fan of Lynch: 1. Roger Ebert was a fucking moron. Blue Velvet and The Thing reviews were embarrassing. 2. The audience is the same. Fire walk with me reception proves it. To this day, I don't understand that. 3. David Lynch should be given money just to make art without expecting turnover, this way, you receive immortal masterpieces for the generations to come.
Ebert is a beta
Your David Lynch documentary is a mesmerizing exploration of the iconic filmmaker's career. Spanning his entire creative journey, you expertly weave together informative insights and compelling trivia that will delight both devoted fans and newcomers alike. It's a captivating tribute to Lynch's unparalleled vision and artistry. Well done!! 5 out of 5 stars!!!👍
Amazing video! Loved every minute of it❤
Hopkins character is called 'Treeeeeeves' not 'Trevors'. Here's to Ben!🌹
Very good, but like WTF, where's Wild at Heart????
