@@InterchangeofNight Thank you for stopping by again my friend ! I wanted to put all my essays together to see if it can reach a different audience given the runtime. I adore those two trilogies as well ❤️
I like Lynch because he puts his art/films over money. I'm aware he's doing very well but as I understand he's turned down big money for creative control. His films are the result of a unique artist left alone to make films without comprise. Theatres today cater to marvel movies or generic non offensive bland movies approved by China for their audience's due to the huge amounts of money made from their billion+ market. Same as politics, wars, lies from the media, world banks/federal reserve etc etc... It's all about money and screw everything else.
Man, I watched this at work and the ending had me in tears... Absolutely beautiful, amazing analysis and very well edited and paced video. Big thumbs up!
Lost Highway is very badass in ways it subtly shows dysfunctional marriage and protagonists personal insecurities reflecting in his perception of the world while the world around still feels fleshed out and expansive. It's like some of the later Bergman movies that pull multiple things at once but never overaccentuating so that the viewer can also play with the movie
I first fell in love with the art of David lynch at the age of 11 when me and my mother watched twin peaks on bbc2 on a Tuesday night back in 1990 ! I was 46 on Thursday the 16 of January 2025 and after I had been for a damn fine cup of coffee with my friend I went hunting treasures at my local charity shops and I actually found the special edition of mulholland drive for 50p !!! Later that day I found out the deeply sad news! David your pure art has touched my soul for decades may you rest in peace and dream eternally!🕉️☮️💜

Great video, dude. I've been a fan of his for decades, mostly without ever really having a deep understanding of the themes or meaning behind most of them. I think his work is like an ornate puzzle box, which is beautiful on it's own, while also concealing levels of beauty that only the really intelligent and lucid can find by solving the puzzle. I love that so many smart, insightful people like you have come to YT with your thoughtful interpretations of his work.
@@netherjosh Well said ! David’s films operate on an emotional level that goes beyond the intellect so they can easily be appreciated without a deeper understanding. He is a master of mood and sound, able to immerse the audience entirely in his world. However, with the way his films are constructed, you can go deeper as they’re so well layered. His films are incredibly fulfilling for many different types of viewers. Beautiful ! Thank you so much for watching and your comment ❤️

@@MrOctober44 Inland is a lot to digest for sure, but I also believe it’s one of David’s most rewarding works. The more time you invest into it the better it gets 🙏🏼❤️
@@mattiadei8402 It was canceled by Netflix during the pandemic but there is still a chance it will be made. It’s really hard to say given David’s condition, but we can only hope that we get more work from the master ❤️🙏🏼
It seems perversely appropriate that David Lynch went during the LA fire disaster, considering what a prominent presence the element of fire has been throughout much of his creative work. Wherever he's gone, he's no longer here. The world is smaller now. However, his work lives on, allowing us lesser people to watch and learn. I don't think I will ever be "finished" with Twin Peaks, for instance, because it seems like a new show every time I watch it again -- and focus on different details in the story.
Thank you my friend ! Inland was the last film I covered for this video and I’m super happy with how it turned out. It’s definitely the most Lynchian film, the final boss so to speak 😂
Mulholland Drive is Lynch’s most comprehensible film, I will never understand why people don’t get it. Lost Highway I had to watch several times before it somewhat clicked. Inland Empire, fair enough. 😂.
@@carlkligerman1981 I wouldn’t say Mulholland Drive is David’s most comprehensible film, but it’s his most comprehensible in the trilogy for sure. It’s a more opaque version of Lost Highway in a lot of ways. I’d say David’s most comprehensible work would be one of his more linear films, such as Blue Velvet or Wild at Heart. Thank you for your comment !
The Straight Story, The Elephant Man, Wild at Heart, Dune, and Blue Velvet are definitely all more comprehensible than Mullholand Drive. I think what helps Mullholand Drive feel straight forward is that it works so well on a more abstract level - it makes emotional sense, to the point that actually engaging in an straightforward summary of the plot ends up causing it to lose comprehensibility.
Absolutely wonderful. I, like many others, went into the infamous Mulholland Drive Rabbit hole after watching it for the first time, and I only had the courage to watch it the second time as I realised that some interpretations of the film were so dark to be almost unbearable (sexual abuse one fits the fact in Lynch's own filmography). Also can I just put it out there that this is the first time I have seen someone focusing on Irene and her husband scenes, I still get legit goosebumps (even while i m writing this) whenever i come across the cab scene or the last one
@@praneetsinghbutran6925 I’m really glad that you liked it ! Mulholland Drive has some terrifying characters and moments for sure. The scene behind Winkie’s is the one that always gets me 😂 Thank you so much for your comment ❤️
It seems very clear that the wonderful, carefully planned final edits of his own films, David Lynch was a big part of the skillset that Christopher Nolan studied and mastered as he rose in his career, and worked through his development of mastery of depicting Time in film. "Tenet" was his masterwork on Time, but "Interstellar" was also a masterful, more subtle depiction of time, according scientific laws.
@@AuteurCinema Yes i know = there is a great essay when he visited the "Lost Highway" set. And in regards to "Infinite Jest": I am telling you it is so so timely and wonderful and will rewire your brain in the best possible ways. And all the themes that were relevant to Lynch are explored in depth in the novel. FEAR NOT: it is HUGE but you will want to READ IT AGAIN AND AGAIN I SWEAR! All caps: GREAT CHANNEL YOU HAVE HERE!
Pretty good. But I think you missed a major point about the singer. The fact that they were so emotional about a singing performance that turned out to be an acting performance is significant for a number of reasons.
@@eddiemumford There will always be details I can’t cover unfortunately. I try to fit as much as I can in, but sometimes I can’t get them to work in the script as they don’t flow. Please post your observations 🙏🏼
Very good director. Lost Highway is my fav of his, followed by Mulholland Drive and Elephant Man. What I like about Lynch is how vague and at the same time huge the interpretation possibilites are, especially with Mulholland Drive. Lost Highway is the most thrilling and dark imo. I would be interested in your analysis in Tony Scott movies. I think he is similar to David Lynch a painter - especially Deja vu, Pelham and Last Boy Scout are so much deeper that on first glance. Deja Vu is basically the modern Vertigo and a showcase how love can transcend even time barriers. Basically the better Tenet.
@@Nightcrawler77 As David said “There’s an expression the world is as you are, so when things get a hair more abstract, you get a lot of different interpretations, and so if you see it that way, totally beautiful.” The lack of certainty frustrates some viewers, but I also love different interpretations ! Not everything needs a concrete answer. There are plenty of things in life that are unknown. Lost Highway rules for sure ! I have only seen True Romance from Tony Scott (which was great), so it may be a while but I shall see what I can do. Thank you for your comment ❤️
@@JoshBurcham104 Completely agree ! It’s one of my favourites from David and I believe it deserves far more recognition than it gets in his filmography.
The second party “cowboy”, after when Adam meets him on the ranch, is not actually the same actor, Monty Montgomery, who is not even really an actor, but took the part as a favor for Lynch. So technically we really only see him one more time. The party cowboy is a completely different person; just the same costume. Monty Montgomery actually owns the cowboy costume; which is an original costume worn by early Hollywood cowboy; Tom Six.
Thanks, though you may want to watch "Twin Perfect"s VERY in depth analysis of Mulholland Drive called "The Terrible Secret of Mulholland Drive"- he dissects virtually everything, very convincingly, leading one to agree that there is one, massive theme behind the movie that everything revolves around.
He's in need of cherry-picking reductionism (while Lynch said his are stories of individuals and not universally categorizable), like those who insist on applying Freud's or Jung's theories despite Lynch openly disliking psychoanalysis. Twin Perfect is right up until FWWm included, then he almost totally misses the points of season 3
@@scrollop As David said “There’s an expression the world is as you are, so when things get a hair more abstract, you get a lot of different interpretations, and so if you see it that way, totally beautiful.” I haven’t seen Twin Perfect’s interpretation but I have heard it revolves the Hollywood casting couch and that’s totally cool ! David’s work invites many different interpretations, this just happens to be mine and the way I see the film. Nobody is right and nobody is wrong, and I think it’s great to hear a variety of thoughts and opinions on David’s works. Thank you for your comment !
Lynch is well known for not wanting to ever explain the 'meaning' behind his films, or certain scenes or characters etc. yet he fully explained Lost Highway when he called into the Alex Jones show, of all places, this was well before he was the infamous Alex Jones, so maybe he thought no one would hear it? I still haven't been able to find it
@@vii9284 I see there is an interview back when Inland Empire was released. I shall have to give it a listen ! I just listened. He said it was a Psychogenic fugue, all details of which are discussed in this essay ❤️
Damn lynch was talking about Batman zur en arrh years before grant Morrison incorporated into his Batman run in the early 2000s. In terms of the psychogenic fugue state. If anyone is interested check it out or just check out grant Morrison in general. He’s the David lynch of comic books.
@@Yogiblaster I hope David is doing well wherever he is now and yes it’s nice to be able to look back on his career and life now that he’s gone. Thank you for watching ❤️
I love 'Lost Highway'. I don't dislike 'Mulholland Drive', but I think it's far less than the sum of its parts. Definitely not Lynch's best. The fact that it's a pilot contrived into a feature is undeniable and THAT is why it is the way it is. However, I also like that as a meta-premise: a pilot without a series. I think that's part of the key to "getting it".
Great reviews. Thanks for all your hard work. Subbed immediately and looking forward to all of your new videos. Have you watched the Lynch Dune '84 edit by SpiceDiver available here on TH-cam??? It took him years to restore and edit together the cut footage, but the end result is astonishing and every Lynch fan should definitely see it. Love and respect from the UK.

@@iwyt3995 The L.A trilogy is an unofficial trilogy but there’s no doubt they’re connected. But yeah I think you’re right, all of David’s films are interconnected in some way
@AuteurCinema Consider this. Every, freaky, *fucked up* one of those _entities_ that have appeared in all of his movies... That _phantom_ thing from Inland Empire. The Hobo Creature from Mullholland Drive (that one scared me the most!). The 'anthropomorphic personification of *evil'* from Lost Highway (the guy who played that character was of the belief that he was playing the Devil!). And whatever the actual hell was featured in Eraserhead! *_They're all lodge entities!_* And they represent the far-reaching influence of the Black Lodge, therefore confirming that Twin Peaks was to the works of David Lynch what The Dark Tower was to Stephen King's bibliography. And Twin Peaks' ending is now well and truly lost to the multiverse...

Lynch is well known for not wanting to ever explain the 'meaning' behind his films, or certain scenes or characters etc.
yet he fully explained Lost Highway when he called into the Alex Jones show, of all places, this was well before he was the infamous Alex Jones, so maybe he thought no one would hear it? I still haven't been able to find it
@@vii9284 I see there is an interview back when Inland Empire was released. I shall have to give it a listen !
I just listened. He said it was a Psychogenic fugue, all details of which are discussed in this essay ❤️
It’s here on TH-cam
Damn lynch was talking about Batman zur en arrh years before grant Morrison incorporated into his Batman run in the early 2000s. In terms of the psychogenic fugue state.
If anyone is interested check it out or just check out grant Morrison in general. He’s the David lynch of comic books.
@@cicolasnage5684 Lynch is influential across so many mediums, film, games, music etc. Never knew about this connection though !
Great work! Thank you for your effort. You've got a new subscriber here!

@ How did you know I faked my own death? Do you watch movies on your f*cking telephone!?
So good watching this now he has died, and thanks for capturing his ideas and your own interpretations so well
@@Yogiblaster I hope David is doing well wherever he is now and yes it’s nice to be able to look back on his career and life now that he’s gone. Thank you for watching ❤️
I love 'Lost Highway'. I don't dislike 'Mulholland Drive', but I think it's far less than the sum of its parts. Definitely not Lynch's best. The fact that it's a pilot contrived into a feature is undeniable and THAT is why it is the way it is. However, I also like that as a meta-premise: a pilot without a series. I think that's part of the key to "getting it".
Have a watch of Twin Perfect's analysis of Mulholland called "The Terrible secret of Mulholland drive". It's very enlightening.
YOUR TAKE SUCKS
subbed in the first minute 😅
@@Brucie27 😂😂 Thank you !
Dude 4 ads 15 minutes in is wild
I don’t control my ads, I let TH-cam do it on my behalf. My Apologies.
Great reviews. Thanks for all your hard work. Subbed immediately and looking forward to all of your new videos. Have you watched the Lynch Dune '84 edit by SpiceDiver available here on TH-cam??? It took him years to restore and edit together the cut footage, but the end result is astonishing and every Lynch fan should definitely see it. Love and respect from the UK.
@@AdamMcGrath I am glad you liked it and thank you for subbing ! I haven’t seen the SpiceDiver edit, but I shall definitely seek it out now that you’ve mentioned it ❤️

What’s a curious fing?
I really disagree with this interpretation of Mulholland drive, I few would ignores many of the important emotional aspects of the film but it's beautiful we can disagree on this
@@isaacmorton1769 Beautiful ! It’s as David said “There’s an expression the world is as you are, so when things get a hair more abstract, you get a lot of different interpretations, and so if you see it that way, totally beautiful.” Thank you for watching ❤️
Hey! It's those movies I pretended to like so my friends would leave me alone.
there is no having
You know, _I've _*_always_*_ considered these movies to be a trilogy._
But I didn't know that they had a *_name_* until now.
I will henceforth refer to this trilogy by it's *_p r o p e r_* name.
_Also,_ all of David Lynch's works sans Dune and _maybe_ The Elephant Man are interconnected, *CHANGE MY MIND!*
@@iwyt3995 The L.A trilogy is an unofficial trilogy but there’s no doubt they’re connected. But yeah I think you’re right, all of David’s films are interconnected in some way
@AuteurCinema Consider this.
Every, freaky, *fucked up* one of those _entities_ that have appeared in all of his movies...
That _phantom_ thing from Inland Empire.
The Hobo Creature from Mullholland Drive (that one scared me the most!).
The 'anthropomorphic personification of *evil'* from Lost Highway (the guy who played that character was of the belief that he was playing the Devil!).
And whatever the actual hell was featured in Eraserhead!
*_They're all lodge entities!_* And they represent the far-reaching influence of the Black Lodge, therefore confirming that Twin Peaks was to the works of David Lynch what The Dark Tower was to Stephen King's bibliography.
And Twin Peaks' ending is now well and truly lost to the multiverse...
It’s an interesting theory ! You never know anything is possible really

He is dead now :-(

He’s passed on but he’s forever alive through the art he made man
I know this guy in real life and he’s from Pennsylvania and is putting on the british accent to sound more deep. Sad.
@@deengew 😂😂
I'm from and in Pennsylvania too.
King Cobra?
“The Hollywood Trilogy” 🤣
ALL of his films are about Hollywood.
@@1sepriani In terms of geographic location, only three of David Lynch’s films take place in Los Angeles. Those films being Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, which form the unofficial L.A Trilogy.
why are you talking like dracula its insanely distracting
@@jacksonlevine9236 😂
It isn't a trilogy.
