FINALLY A GREAT INTERVIEW TO DAVID LYNCH. Thank you to the journalist, finally someone who asks him something new and had the sensibility to know how to approach Lynch, to get the best and new conversations out of him. Much more personal and much more interesting... thank you for this gift!
I love this interview. The female interviewer has so much energy and excitement that she is really interviewing David Lynch. Her questions around the abstract theories of his work made me think of a modern day English literature scholar interviewing Shakespeare and how he would possibly respond to similar questions. Brilliant. David your a genius
Still it's really nice to see him getting asked some more unusual questions and also some which directly relate to criticism of his work. Definitely an insightful interview It's also nice to see an interviewer who actually knows her stuff. She most definitely did. Still, there's a bit to be learned with the asking the questions in a manner in which there's no kind of accusation in it
I have been watching interview after interview of David Lynch and I really believe he is a sincere artist. The other night I fell asleep while watching a lecture and I had an amazing lucid dream where I was talking to David and I told him about Swedenborg who was a mystic from Sweden in the 1700s. I also have explored Buddhism and some Hindu masters. Although I knew and saw many of his works I feel he really cares about humanity.
David Lynch in beloved Georgia is like a magic wedding. But finally this great little interview shows that it all comes from somewhere else. But I am not surprised that a woman from Georgia made this great interview!
This is a special interview :) bravo. David Lynch is a tough guest and I think you got him to open up quite generously. Nice touch shooting through the window too, when he was talking about people being defined by how they treat others and going through life hiding all of their torment underneath the facade I couldn't help but stare out at those passersby. Sonder really crept up on me just gazing at that guy in the black sunglasses just dordeling around outside or the constant stream of people on the pedestrian crossing.
Never seen so many positive comments about an interviewer before. But don't you just love David Lynch. The guy is an icon. I loved Twin Peaks as a kid, but sadly haven't seen anything else by him. I came to this because of my interest in TM. What I can see is how TM underlies everything he is and does. It's so beautiful to be part of this special process.
Great interview into Lynch's thoughts about good and evil and society. Dont know why but I love that Lynch doesn't really know the works of Buñuel. Lynch is a down to earth guy and not elitist. Master of dream images. Interviewer wants to infuse his films with politics and Lynch isnt having it. He is in the vein of Werner Herzog.

One of the wonderful perks of loving Lynch and his work on a molecular level, is that you get to watch interviewers and Q&A audience members (who've been "educated" in film criticism/theory) get shut down hard when they express their incessant and baffling need to inject politics and messages (both conscious and unconscious, of course) into Lynch's work, when he is truly, clearly, one of the most apolitical artists civilization has ever seen. There are certainly great artists where such readings might apply (the astonishing Spike Lee comes to mind), but to read "texts" as if their worth primarily comes from whatever ulterior motives lie below the surface is just exhausting, and so very reductive. The idea that every human act must have a political component is one of the most toxic beliefs I can think of. My soul lifts a little every time I see artists like Lynch shut that shit down. I don't know how he's dealt with it for so long.
Well said. Lynch includes plenty of postmodern tropes and methods in his work, but he does it because it *feels* right, he doesn't do it because he studied this stuff for 20 years and thinks he's qualified to wield such abilities. (In this way, a Zach Snyder is basically the anti-Lynch: not deconstruction, but destruction.) After years of amateur studying of postmodern writings in a variety of disciplines (I came to it from the sciences and philosophy of science, but I also love postmodern literature and came to it that way too), I've come to the conclusion that the primary innovation of postmodern thought is identifying the ubiquity of power structures and hierarchies in human societies. I wholeheartedly agree with this. I also agree that, if you burrow down into such structures, you will ultimately find that they are a fiction that humans have created. But you know what I also think? I also think that such power structures and hierarchies are often *a good thing* , and that their fictional origins are *necessary* for civilization. Some are not, of course, but some are. I'd go as far as to claim that the very ability of us to make "vertical" judgments of any sort (aesthetic and moral, for instance) rests upon a foundational, primal cognitive capacity to conceptualize, consider, and create hierarchies. "I put this above/below that," etc. It has long struck me that, if most artists approached their work and form in the same ways that critics approach them, art would no longer exist. (Well, to be exact, *good* art would no longer exist.) Which, by the way, is fine: Creation != Criticism. I'm a pluralist, I think it takes all kinds of people to make our world work. But when critics actively try and force artists to think like they (the critics) do as well? That's when I get angry. Because it speaks to a profound solipsism that masquerades as societal concern. Last thing: I should note that overall, I really like this interviewer. She asks great questions. But the ones that pertain to what I wrote above just drive me up a wall and make me cringe hard. And yet she is by no means the worst example of this, which is scary.
9:01 ...I revisit this video from time to time for moral support, in particular this idea of dispelling the myth of the 'tortured artist'. More people should consider Lynch's perspective on this bad idea.
Would be so great if meditation and stress management was taught in all schools those are actual life skills people can use to improve other areas of their life too.
I enjoyed this interview even though I don't really agree with some of stuff that he says. Also, it felt like it was raining. Edit: I still think about this interview and I agree with what he said about being happy to work.
People still don't get it when it is soooooooooo clear and simple.....such a sadness,as DL would say,when you just shut off and shut up,life is so beautiful....as DL would say.👍
As for the dance of the seven veils... The Dance of the Seven Veils is Salome's dance performed before Herod II.[2] It is an elaboration on the biblical story of the execution of John the Baptist, which refers to Salome dancing before the king, but does not give the dance a name. m.th-cam.com/video/OMaycNcPsHI/w-d-xo.html And you can take that as you like it.
if David had to intellectualize every concept, he'd never make. follow your gut/your dreams. dreams come unprompted and contain thoughts that create their own fabric/logic. maybe later you make a diagnosis as a shrink does, but mostly in the moment, you feel through the dark creatively
Nothing comes from nowhere. Like dreams being a collation of waking experience, an idea is a feeling, and you don't just catch a fish, but also the water in which it swims. And you shouldn't cook a kid or lamb in the milk of its mother.
Interviewer wants David to be a social justice warrior. Lynch isn't having it. Lynch reveals human nature and what's beneath it. A true artist. She wants him to get political and have ulterior motives. Lynch isn't having it. Lynch, like Herzog, don't do irony. My favorite Lynch interview.
i think you should look for the evidence you want to satisfy your soul, not ask for it sitting on your youtube throne. look, here's the internet, it's so wide and democratic and beautiful. it serves you
Once those fingers start goin', you know you got a good interview with Lynch
Very true.
FINALLY A GREAT INTERVIEW TO DAVID LYNCH. Thank you to the journalist, finally someone who asks him something new and had the sensibility to know how to approach Lynch, to get the best and new conversations out of him. Much more personal and much more interesting... thank you for this gift!
Agreed. Very good approach.
Exactly!
This was beautiful.
Thank you to the thoughtful and smart interviewer, she was lovely, and asked so many great questions.
She made statements posed as questions. As is the rage among interviewers.
Best interview i've seen with David Lynch in a long time! Thank you :)
Thank you very much. We would be happy if you could share this interview with people who can appreciate it :)
Man.. exactly.
Agree
Agreed.
Totally agree

What an interview. One of the best I've seen. So inspirational and interesting. This journalist is fantastic.
Really wonderful interview.
Great job from the interviewer.
Thanks.

It's also nice to see an interviewer who actually knows her stuff. She most definitely did. Still, there's a bit to be learned with the asking the questions in a manner in which there's no kind of accusation in it
cultural difference and english as a second language
That was legitimately one of the best interviews I've ever seen
This interview is just beautiful! Salute to DL of course, but my BRAVO and curtsey goes to the lady interviewer!
"You are very very good. I must say that!"- David Lynch
I can't remember I have ever seen a better interview with David Lynch.
Thanks for your precious work.
The interviewer was phenomenal.
"There is nothing like learning by doing" DAVID LYNCH
so start with transcendental meditation xD
best interviewer ever !
I kept expecting someone to get violently ran over outside the window lol I think I've watched too much Lynch
Best Lynch interview ever!
I have been watching interview after interview of David Lynch and I really believe he is a sincere artist. The other night I fell asleep while watching a lecture and I had an amazing lucid dream where I was talking to David and I told him about Swedenborg who was a mystic from Sweden in the 1700s. I also have explored Buddhism and some Hindu masters. Although I knew and saw many of his works I feel he really cares about humanity.
David Lynch in beloved Georgia is like a magic wedding. But finally this great little interview shows that it all comes from somewhere else. But I am not surprised that a woman from Georgia made this great interview!
Extremely down-to-earth, well-mannered and thoughtful dude. And a very good interviewer.
One of the greatest interview ever❤️
Wow! Thanks for your work and for uploading it and sharing it. This is the best interview to David Lynch I've seen on TH-cam.
Such a great interview which remains so relevant today! Such a fantastic interviewer - so skilled and passionate; thank you!!
Wonderful interview and amazing journalist. So refreshing
Every time I watch this video, I receive good inspiration.
Thank you very much for this great interview.
This is a special interview :) bravo. David Lynch is a tough guest and I think you got him to open up quite generously. Nice touch shooting through the window too, when he was talking about people being defined by how they treat others and going through life hiding all of their torment underneath the facade I couldn't help but stare out at those passersby. Sonder really crept up on me just gazing at that guy in the black sunglasses just dordeling around outside or the constant stream of people on the pedestrian crossing.
Always in our hurt big brother. Rest in peace.
Stunning. All I can say. Thank you, David! - BTW, great interviewer, great job!
Never seen so many positive comments about an interviewer before. But don't you just love David Lynch. The guy is an icon. I loved Twin Peaks as a kid, but sadly haven't seen anything else by him. I came to this because of my interest in TM. What I can see is how TM underlies everything he is and does. It's so beautiful to be part of this special process.
Please see more of Lynch's work. They're just as good and beautiful as Twin Peaks! I'll never forget the first time watching a Lynch movie!
11:39 a car drives by with open door
LOL, and of course it would happen during a David Lynch interview. Craziness follows him everywhere.
his hair is awesome!

David, please make another film.
Thank you! Really great interview! Enjoyed every moment of it! :)

American filmmaker David Lynch interviewed Salome Asatiani, a correspondent for Radio Liberty, in November 2017 in Tbilisi.
She is an amazing interviewer for him.
Great interview into Lynch's thoughts about good and evil and society. Dont know why but I love that Lynch doesn't really know the works of Buñuel. Lynch is a down to earth guy and not elitist. Master of dream images. Interviewer wants to infuse his films with politics and Lynch isnt having it. He is in the vein of Werner Herzog.
David is very gracious in these interviews, as he has been saying ultimately the same thing for last 40 years regarding his artistic vision.
She is a fantastic interviewer. Juxtaposed against the white-headed Aussie man.

David looks so tired :( Hope he's keeping in good health
You were an idea yourself Mr Lynch. Forever missed.
thank you
Would be so great if meditation and stress management was taught in all schools those are actual life skills people can use to improve other areas of their life too.
David, so many years of a great hair.
I love this interviewer she does a really great job!!!!
This man is so interesting and stimulating to listen to. Such a character too.
RIP Maestro. You'll be loved and missed.
Awesome interview, great questions!!
I could relate as an artist to what he said about artist!
wonderful!:)
I enjoyed this interview even though I don't really agree with some of stuff that he says. Also, it felt like it was raining.

Do people not have the right of way at zebra crossings in Georgia?
Zebras ? heh we put up barricades on sidewalk or else we wouldn't have the right of way there either.
So what about that cinema university now?
People still don't get it when it is soooooooooo clear and simple.....such a sadness,as DL would say,when you just shut off and shut up,life is so beautiful....as DL would say.👍

Diners and Lynch? Kinda scary 😰
Speaking of metoo and twin peaks, the first season of wiseguy, the Kevin spacey arc, I think was a certain breaking of ground.
Nothing comes from nowhere. Like dreams being a collation of waking experience, an idea is a feeling, and you don't just catch a fish, but also the water in which it swims. And you shouldn't cook a kid or lamb in the milk of its mother.

Interviewer wants David to be a social justice warrior. Lynch isn't having it. Lynch reveals human nature and what's beneath it. A true artist. She wants him to get political and have ulterior motives. Lynch isn't having it. Lynch, like Herzog, don't do irony. My favorite Lynch interview.
