[Bleed The Freak]

This scene was crazy

RIP He was hilarious on the Cleveland Show.

 

[Ribbs]

Shamed to admit I’ve never seen anything by him but have had Mulholland Drive on my to watch list for years. Feels only right to try and get it done this year.

RIP. those fires had to amplify shyt. A legend and wholly unique person, creator and talent.

In the Deadline article with the fires and being forced to relocate, his health got worse and ultimately took his life.

RIP

I highly recommend his book Room to Dream from a few years back

RIP to an all-time great director and a not-too-shabby musician either.

People always talk about movies of his like Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Mulholland Drive (might actually be the best film of the 21st century to date), but Lost Highway might be his most underrated film. Probably gonna watch that this weekend when I have some down time.

Lost Highway is one of my favorites by him, and you’re right it’s pretty underrated. If you haven’t, check out David Foster Wallace’s Premiere magazine article on the making of the movie. Has a lot of good tidbits about Lynch, Balthazar Getty, Patricia Arquette.

I did hate the movie the first time I saw it. Like the main character, I was dealing with my own feelings of jealousy and suspicion of a partner, and the movie was hitting too close to home lol. That’s the beauty in his movies. Ink blot tests in cinematic form. Your interpretation says more about you as a watcher than him as a director. Which is why I believe he hated giving his interpretation to his movies, and was pretty pissed when the studio forced him to put hints on the back of the Mulholland Drive dvd.

Overrated director though

Vastly. I thought Blue Velvet was a parody when I watched it

I remember that DFW article and I'd recommend it to anyone who's interested in that film.

I think Lost Highway's one of his darkest films, maybe his darkest period in terms of investigating the psychology of his characters (which is saying something). I saw it for the first time with my then-girlfriend a while back and, while we loved it, the conversation afterward was shockingly tense for a post-film convo. It definitely wasn't just you that saw those themes of jealousy and suspicion in the film (self-deception is a big theme as well. In that respect, as well as its general structure, you could call it a dry run for Mulholland Drive).

And agreed on the rorschach test aspect of his films. Understanding the plot of a film is not the same as understanding the film itself, which I believe is why Lynch didn't really like "decoding" his films for viewers. One of my friends calls Lynch's films "puzzle films," which I think is apt.

I finally seen several of his movies a few back and he wasn’t for me. Elephant Man was good. Can’t deny is impact tho.

You’re so right about it being his darkest film. Haha you’re braver than me to watch it with your girl. The convo after would be revealing too much of the shadow of my psyche to her
