The director is sitting at a table behind a door marked “Private”, specs perched on his nose. The word “FUCK” is tattooed across his knuckles. His hands are shaking and his speech is laboured; he keeps losing his thread. Von Trier explains that the tremors are caused by antidepressants, although they may also be caused by alcohol withdrawal. He is largely sober these days, but recently fell off the wagon. “It’s hard to be in Cannes and not drink,” he says.

Even after hearing and seeing this, I still wholeheartedly love both David Lynch and Lars Von Trier, hope LvT pulls through with whatever medical thing appears to be happening with him, wish him the best. While I personally disagree from what I've seen and the brilliant solutions to mysteries Lynch has cleverly improvised without compromising his interpretive dream logic, I don't hold him on as much of a pedestal to ignore that what Trier saw may have been accurate, but I wasn't there, so I can't tell you if he's right or wrong, only about what I've seen from films. Also, Trier also has a tendency to avoid answers questions in his films ("AntiChrist" does not have a clear-cut answer to it's mystery, like Lynch, he keeps it metaphorical) so I'm surprised to hear he feels this way. Best of luck to all.

Lynch might very well be an imperfect filmmaker. His films and the Twin Peaks series have mistakes, yet he is hardly an ice cream salesman. The fact that he gave conferences to promote Transcendental Meditation doesn't make him a sell-out at all, specially considering that von Trier here confesses to also have been meditating for 15 years. Lynch makes the films and tv shows he wants to make, and if he has to give up artistic control, he exits the project. No hack would do this. The last season of Twin Peaks is a clear example of his artistic merits and pitfalls. Albeit not the perfect series, it is very far from being a commercial product. Von Trier talks as if Lynch had turned into a filmmaker that works solely for the highest bidder and was no longer the artist he once was. Could von Trier be any further from the truth here?

@analcentipede

the point he was making about transcendental meditation was completely unrelated to his previous point on Twin Peaks, he isn't drawing any connections between Lynch's TM advocacy and artistic merit, think you might've missed the distinction. Also TM as a business is totally shady, the practice of TM itself does work, but only because it's actually just regular old mantra meditation disguised as something revolutionary by new age capitalist grifters. TM is what happens when you take a valuable spiritual and psychological tool and introduce it to predatory con artists, so it's definitely worth being critical of.

This pretty much is about Lars being unable to compromise at all. It's well recorded that if the execs interfere too much, Lynch will become annoyed and might leave the project, that's why he never worked for a big movie production after Dune or a TV production after Twin Peaks, but he's willing to make compromises, as he accepts new ideas from his actors, and staff and it's willing to improvise and to at the very least see the current work finished. But Lars can't do that, he has to have all the control, that's why he's a supporter of dictators, he thinks order is worth having a tyrannical leader. He can't accept that accepting external ideas might be part of the auteur project. So an auteur as loose and improv as Lynch who is the complete opposite to a tyrant on the set, someone who can compromise to enrich his vision might as well be a sellout to Lars. As for TM, Lynch might have fallen on the hands of some, pretty non-dangerous, cult, but he promotes it not to scam people, but because it actually helps his artistic vision as unlikely as it might seem., it can be argued that part of his works have TM as a basis.

Lars has deep admiration for David Lynch.

I might have done the same seeing an ambush of gang of suits. Nevertheless with David nothing is as it seems, Lars should have grow a pair instead of embracing the apparent disillusion. Beautifully and fun story nevertheless, thank you.

This feeling of a lack of resolution with Lynch may come as an intended consequence of his, as it reflects 'samsarra,' the cycle of death and rebirth, a prominent feauture in Buddhism. Lynch's characters don't simply fall into hell and then there they are kept forever, like in a von Trier movie. Von Trier would make it sound like Lynch is lazy, and then morally deficient. Maybe he is morally deficient (there is something to von Trier saying there is a mercenary quality in David Lynch) but he is not lazy.

Well, something can be honest all it wants but that doesn’t necessarily make it good. Part of what makes great directors great is translating their messages for everyday application. In other words a relatable element. Alienating the audience will only get you so far. Subversion in the truest sense is when nobody knows it happened at all. While I admire Von Trier’s work greatly it never resonants emotionally with the exception of dancer in the dark and moments of breaking the waves. He leans towards cinematic stunts. Lynch and him are similar in many ways because their both style over everything else, but Lynch is far more emotional.

So my theory is that the one who dreams is either a rapist with some regrets (the finale emphasizes "some" because what he does to the victim is sadistic) or the one who is dreaming is a rape victim and both versions work. Whoever is ,tries to understand where the evil comes from by messing with metaphysics, but I forgive it because we're in a dream world and the feeling of searching,fear is very much emphasized. From Blue Velvet to Inland Empire and Twin Peaks still Lynch asks the question and this time even mocks the simplistic dream logic with the fist guy,etc. You need philosophy,history,economics to understand "where the evil comes from" and is not Judy,lol,but you can feel the need to know it and fight it,the empathy for the victims.It's about the mood and the question. You can't be serious artist and think you can answer something so complex only with art form.Also Lynch looks really angry,with sharp humor and sensitive to the darkness around him.Philadelphia and New York neighborhoods shaped his dark art.I know new age bs/"transcendental meditation" are stupid but the guy may needs it to not go crazy. Trier is one of the worse directors i have see with his stupid montage and his shaking camera.If you want the meta element you must find something more clever,this is just stupid crudiness.Antichrist has so f good scenario and actors' direction for example and f it with these two elements.

Brilliant. I also meditated for 15 years and can't stand someone pushing it as some sort of panacea. Especially religion like TM.

and lars lars lars lynch made a masterpiece about studio interference muholland drive you know this 😅

J.J. Abrams would go on to turn that Lynchian mystery box thing into an entire industry.

He has done some messed up things, has an evil Personality to a certain degree. I think he's the great trickster of the modern culture. But I still Love his art, he's in way more than a film maker, he's like a savior of the modern cinema. He swears being this materialistic Atheist but also manages to make these deep spiritual movies in our time. His playfulness is mind-blowing.

​@@Garrett1240 for sure he was. Lynch is a sweetheart good boy and no one would said he's evil lol (and i dont even think Lars is "evil" whatever that means)

I think his perception of Lynch and his work is just the projection of expectations because he doesn't know Lynch very well. He's always been a man selling ice cream to some extent he said for years he likes to go out for chocolate soft serve malts and milkshakes he likes coffee and cigarettes too so I suppose he "sells" or promotes that also. Twin Peaks certainly did have a conclusion if you just view it as a murder mystery about who killed Laura Palmer we know it was her Father just the whole thing was made into a surreal miniseries so there are many dramas unfolding simultaneously. Lynch likes dream like atmospheres and dreams don't always have satisfactory conclusions either it has to do with the subconscious "the owls are not what they seem" and many things are not as they seem. Some things are as they seem but some don't want to see them as they are in Blue Velvet they just want to see the rose bushes not the compost and bugs beneath just the pretty surface picture. Lynch talks about meditation that way too many things beneath the surface the deeper you dive the bigger the ideas.

I love David Lynch, and I agree that he earnestly does want to influence the world for the better. But there is also a commercial aspect to it. The stark duality between the sublime and the grotesque (and the resulting tragicomical absurdity) is the essence of the man's body of work, TM included.

@LawsonEnglish

I disagree with this common interpretation of Lynch's movies - that they deliberately don't resolve or have ambiguous stories. All of his works (except maybe Inland Empire which I can't understand at all) have straightforward stories that, if he wanted to, Lynch could just tell you outright. They only appear ambiguous because they often a) are told out of chronological order and b) contain supernatural elements. It always bugs me when people say that, e.g., Mulholland Dr. is just a series of weird, crazy scenes, because that's not what it is at all.

I generally love Von Trier's films but the story about Lynch is strange - LVT is put off by the 'suits' but was prepared to meet up with Lynch who is famous for wearing Bermuda shorts and sandals ;) (sarcasm). Sure, I know what he means by 'suits' but it's still immature of him to not realise the subtleties of appearance and behaviour, that a person can be well dressed can LOOK 'corporate' while maintaining their individuality inside - a large portion of the population does that every day.

Maybe some nuance was lost in the English transcription. It's extremely clear to me in Danish what he means. He already knew that TM was a new age cult before the meeting. But because of his great admiration for Lynch he was initially prepared to go ahead with the meeting. When he saw the suits, it forced himself to confront what kind of meeting he was walking into and that he couldn't go through with it without losing his admiration for Lynch. They could have been wearing monk's robes and it would have had the same effect. The clothes was just a trigger; we can imagine that if they'd looked "normal" he would have had the meeting and then lost his admiration. A lot of people seem to have thought this is the story of how he lost his admiration for Lynch but it's the literal opposite. It's the story of how he prevented himself from losing his admiration for Lynch.

I'd say almost all of Lynch's films resolve and conclude, resoundingly, hauntingly. And I'd buy his trancendental ice cream over Von Trier's cynical swill any day.

Funny that David Lynch doesn't know Lars. He said so, when asked in Moscow conference back in 2010. kzread.info/dash/bejne/a4yo1Lilf9OcZbQ.html

The story shows he was wrong about Lynch from the beginning: The Pilot aside, the credit for the original Twin Peaks should go to Mark Frost as much as (if not more) to Lynch; S2, Fire Walk With Me and The Return are certainly not providing closure - quite the opposite.

Mmmmm, TM is "rubbish", and you go at an a event of them, when they invite you? I mean, what he was thinking to found there?

He couldn’t be more wrong about Lynch. And to make a snap judgment just because he was in a room with 2 guys wearing suits is nuts

At least his ice cream doesn't taste like ash. Poor Trier is still depressed because he chose an ineffective meditation technique. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.

I love Lars but gotta disagree with him about all of this. Every one of Lynch's puzzles he has made has a clear conclusion and an answer to all the mystery. His whole view of Lynch is very weird though... He didn't even finish season 1 of Twin Peaks but then claims that Lynch never could stick the ending..... lol Maybe if he had actually watching the ending before commenting, he would feel differently. Hard to take his criticism seriously when he is criticizing only the parts he hasn't seen.

I never understood why Lynch, who wasn't pleased with the development of the second season of Twin Peaks, that was forced upon him, continued in the same, even more jumbled, vein in 'Fire walks with me' and in the Twin Peaks revival series. And it is also a fact that Riget resembles Twin Peaks a bit in going from the peculiar to the all compassing supernatural, but Riget is much stronger. Concerning the story: is this the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Furthermore, it pains me to see Lars von Trier in this condition, I have had family members being attained by the same illness, and I wish him all the best and much courage.
