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
My theory about Lynch is that he uses a lot of many random abstract things in his films and art. That's why Lynch probably doesn't "explain" his films because even he really doesn't know what they mean either.
unconscious intuition and feel ... brilliant
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.
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.

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????
Amazing video. Thanks for making.
Please come back and make another ❤
Wonderfully made video tyty❤
I was shocked to see the Inland Empire in 2007 and thought, what is the most memorable and beautiful place in my life? And I climbed Wolchulsan Mountain in Jeolla-do. The American Nouvelle Vague in the United States seems to be continuing.😅
2:42:30 Daily Weather Report: "There's a lot going on in the world and it makes me think of the song Wicked Game." Genius! Saying so much without saying anything. This is one of many reasons why I love David Lynch.
He just speaks his mind and people are in awe that song was on the wild at heart soundtrack and for some reason he thought of it. He says lots of random normal things wood is such a blessing to humanity etc. maybe he is just bored.
Great video, thank you so much.
I enjoyed this so much! Thank you.
Thank you for the great video! Just one point, there are two different music videos for"Wicked Game." The one shown here in 1h 29min is the one directed by Herb Ritts and shot in Hawaii. Let me copy here some info from wikipedia: "Another video was commissioned for the Wild at Heart VHS release and was directed by David Lynch. It features scenes of Lula (Laura Dern) and Sailor (Nicolas Cage) from the film, interspersed with black-and-white footage of Isaak and his band performing the song. This video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Video from a Film."
Cool, thanks for letting me know!
You are welcome! You can find the David Lynch directed video in KZread under the title "Chris Isaak - Wicked Game (1989) Original Video"
Really brilliant work, mate! The best “amateur” doco/biography of a filmmaker I’ve ever seen on the You Tubes! Hats off to you - hope you get to making another soon!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you.
Fantastic video. Can't believe it hasn't hundreds of thousands of views
great video, should have more views
