David Lynch: The Idea Dictates Everything (2006)

David Lynch talks about his creative life from art student to filmmaker, from "Eraserhead" (1977) to the internet and "Inland Empire' (2006). Why intuition is so important, the opportunity to make "The Elephant Man", why there is no "Director's Cut" of "Dune" (1984), the inspiration behind "Lost Highway" (1997) and why he thinks celluloid is a dinosaur.

    I highly recommend Lynch's autobiography ROOM TO DREAM, particularly the audio version read by Lynch.

    Gosh when he says “it hurt it. It hurt it” about Dune … such genuine sadness all these years later

    Thank you, Stuart, for the best interview with David I have ever seen. It felt like the interview itself had a life, like the negative space in the room became filled with gentleness, open-ness, fresh curiosity, that drew other things out into life. The past felt alive. Not a seance. Looking for the word. It’s like the Ideas from those past projects came into the room to continue being seen and expanded and appreciated in new ways that weren’t possible before. I don’t know how to say it. Lovely. Thank you.

    I knew Mel Brooks was the producer and I heard that after seeing Eraserhead he said to Lynch `You're a madman, I love it!`. The Elephant man is still one of my favorite Lynch movies. I remember seeing a trailer of some kind on television as a kid and wanting to see that film, thinking it was an old movie. Getting into Lynch movies after seeing a screening of Eraserhead I discovered The Elephant Man and realized it was the same movie I wanted to see as a kid.

    My best friend at conservatory saw Eraserhead back then, '77 or '78 and told me it was a 1920s surrealist thing.
