Lost Highway extra, Interview with David Lynch

[@nothing-but-milk9176]

It's not that he doesn't remember,he just likes to remember things in his own way.

[@_0O0O0O0_]

lol. nice

[@leetogo3333]

well done!

[@Mrsilenciobackgammon]

Nice.

[@Mrrossj01]

Fred.

[@mbjasondify]

Naturally

[@dexterblack9424]

David Lynch : I never explain my movies because I can't remember

[@ALEXJRZ]

Kinda what his movies' plot is.

[@EnderSpy358]

JM Rodriguez-Luis from my personal experience, he has that effect on stoners

[@insirenrotting985]

Lmao

[@meep2576]

I think he’s genius

[@screwdajuice]

What point is there to explain your movie? Why even watch it at that point?

[@yoe91]

"uhm so we uhm sat down and uhmmm weeee....and there was the movie.", David Lynch (on making Lost Highway)

[@ivanskoric1168]

jeff goldblum approves this 😂

[@bombednation]

How do you talk for so long without saying anything at all? He's gotta be not explaining anything on purpose.

[@jktunney]

don't think so... this is really his creative process! ideas smacking around into one another until they fall in love with the ideas

[@jktunney]

this is so funny tho

[@towersofgiza]

yoe91 umm

[@brownsugar2456]

"as a matter of fact.....i'm in your house right now"

[@mrh3894]

I love Lost Highway and the fact that Lynch himself can only offer vague theories about the movie improves it.

[@alisarsour8552]

Okay I was right. He just explained they psychological aspect of the movie. The is the key to unlock itself. Fred thinks his wife in cheating on him or believes that. The night of the party at Andy's house Fred followed Renee and Dick to the Lost Hwy Hotel They are having an affair in room 26. Renee leaves in her car. Notice it is the same dress she wears to the party Fred kills Dick Fred goes in psychosis. He is the mystery man. It is part of his memory that he doesn't want to see. Nobody see the mystery man . When Fred point him out to Andy notice there are 2 people that resemble the mystery man. Fred tells Andy and Renee Dick Laurent is dead. He knows this because he just killed Dick a few hours ago Fred bisects his wife. Fred goes to prison. The memories he was blocked away start to give him headaches. Fred is lost in his own head. He sees himself a Pete. Fred's mind is like a hamster wheel. He has created an alter ego , Pete. He sees Alice and Fred is doomed to not face what he has done to Renee so he meets Alice. In Fred's head he sees himself as Pete. He falls for the same girl. They go to rob Andy. Pete goes upstairs and it's the hotel hallway. He stops at room 26 headache and bloody nose. He see Renee mocking him while being with Dick. Pete sees a picture in it has Alice and Renee in it Pete asks are they both you and she points in the middle saying that's me. I go to a cabin in the desert and Allison Pete have intercourse Renee walks off and says you will never have me this jogs Fred's mind from Pete to back to himself as Fred. He goes into the shack and he sees the mystery man and he says I'm looking for Alice the mystery man tells him that if she said her name was Alice she is lying and the mystery man tells him to wake up basically what is your name what is your name. The mystery Man stands next to Fred Mr Eddie is on the ground The mystery man pulls out a camcorder and Fred looks into the viewer and sees the part of his life that he is psychologically blocked that led him to this point. He sees Renee For who she is because the video shows that she was unfaithful and could not be trusted a crime of passion. This is what David Lynch was talking about in the OJ thing trial that he believes that OJ killed his ex-wife and Goldman that has blocked the memory of it or locked it away into a subconscious. It is revealed through the camera in the mystery van who are to keep Fred safe from remembering what he did and the murder of his wife and Dick Laurent. He faces what he's done The police see the pic of only Renee without Alice Alice is a figment of Fred/Pete's mind. He can't to come back to reality and is going and singing in his cell and he's back on the Lost highway that goes nowhere like a hamster wheel you need to believe that he will reinvent himself and reinvent Renee over and over craving his own personal hell He's doomed to repeat it That's what David Lynch is trying to explain

[@gitarkin]

Buzzer: Dick Laurent is dead. David: Elaborate on that. Buzzer: No.

[@linesided]

Finally an interviewer who doesn't annoy DL. All you need to do is open the door and he does the rest. He's a story teller, let him speak!

[@sacerdotebaldo]

"This is gonna be a strange interview". Yes, it is, David

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

The moment he said it I pushed the "pause" button and laughed, went "Oh, is it ? Is this interview with David Lynch going to be strange ? Get outta heeere :D"

A true man of the 60's - 90's who was there and proves it b/c he doesn't remember being there.

[@SuzanneKowalski]

I think the man remembers EVERYTHING he ever did, but doesn't want to talk about a lot of things because those would spoil every great moment in his movies. He wants us to discover his art ourselves.

[@Johnconno]

@@camerondozierfilms Ah, you believe that story?

[@unmixedunmastered2810]

@@Johnconno I don’t believe that he “doesn’t remember it”....

[@JaredStalkerDrums]

Damn I feel like this is the most he's ever talked about one of his films before

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

He’s talked quite a bit about his simpler works like The Elephant Man and Dune

[@Thomas_of_the_forest]

@@MarinaAndTheDevil well yeah, they are straightforward from the get go pretty much, so it's like he's trying to hide anything

[@albertpuppymaster671]

Lost highway is a clear masterpiece. We should be glad we saw it in our lifetime.

I can't believe that intercom thing really happened to him, that's super creepy

I'd say it was a acid trip.

[@kitpalmer1583]

[@crab-dogjones4659]

He says he doesn't remember much then goes on to lay out the theme and plot of the movie more clearly than any other project he's ever worked on.

[@menzoznem]

I guess it just took some time to really get into that place in his head when he was creating the movie.

[@Thomas_of_the_forest]

Hahah, yup Quite a rarity. Makes understanding this one probably the easiest of his surrealist works

[@Luckyfoxoval78]

Wow. The fact that the Dick Larant thing is real is fucking terrifying

[@Krone37Io]

dude have u seen Blue Velvet? Frank Booth is way more scary

[@adawg37]

I think he means the fact that the opening line really happened to Lynch.

[@JacobHTMHF]

adawg37 and then he used that for a fucking movie lol

[@JoshSalt1]

One of the most candid interviews he’s ever given. Maybe he took a few dozen extra cups of coffee this day?

[@jordancarlin9687]

His real life story about the intercom is incredulous and frankly the reason why we love him

[@absentfish1706]

I love how David explains the conception of the movie with such simple words, that in the end nothing is clear. Never change, David Lynch.

[@jesussaves2376]

I recommend his book Lynch on Lynch for an incredible discussion of each of his films. I have such a deep respect for him as an artist and person who expresses himself truly through his craft.

[@Kkuhder]

11:46 "let's see if there's a favorite" and then goes to another dimension to find that particular scene lol love u david

[@chriswieman]

I would enjoy sitting down and talking with this man even if he'd never made any good films, and if I didn't have such a deep respect for his methods and ideas. He just seems like such a wonderfully unpretentious character. To have Lynch sit there and try to describe his own creative process ...what could one expect but this?

[@michaelangst6078]

David lynch bought a house and remodeled it just for this movie?? The man is the definition of a perfectionist

[@adawg37]

Michael Angst No he used the house he lived in while writing the movie. He had already bought and designed it before the movie was in its zygote phase.

[@Vingul]

@@adawg37 he explicitly states that he didn't want to film in his own house, therefore he bought that other house to shoot in.

[@mbjasondify]

@@Vingul Yes, found one that had a "nice price" and reconfigured it. 👍

[@danieldemayo6209]

The acting is amazing in this. A lot is said with no words in this movie....probably more than the words spoken haha

[@lordmalal]

I believe Lynch comes across as inarticulate because he has so many ideas flying through his head so rapidly that it is a struggle to verbalize them all.

[@mailtv910]

He comes across as someone to whom nonverbal forms of communication come much more naturally than forms of verbal communication. Sometimes a great strength in one area can result in a weakness in another area.

[@viewtiful1doubleokamihand253]

@@mailtv910 That's kinda his films, right ? Or Jodorowsky's films, or anyone else' movies with heavy surreal aspect - they speak not with words and explanations, but rather with how the words *sound* , when it is words, but most of the time their movies speak with colors, with music, with general *mood* .

[@gk_knight]

One of most open interviews I've seen with lynch. Great stuff.

[@alnasf1643]

This man is absolute legend and that's it

[@susanwilson6621]

David Lynch you are so relaxed in how you do things. I love it.

[@terriblecrayon]

Lost Highway is my favorite movie and I've never seen this before. Thanks for posting!

[@tiffanyep763]

Memories are pliable and are all based on our comprehension of the moment. David Lynch is super smart with an ability to leave room for interpretation. I adore this style.

[@TheBryanmauro]

"I get the psychogenic fugue every afternoon" . Thank you David

[@jacobcrosson2080]

the piece about the oj trial is so interesting and makes so much sense in the context of the movie and the way that the story is told. one of my favorite lynch's

[@tothejazz4828]

This idea of the "Dick Larant is dead" thing being real, and it emerging from the person in question confusing the two Davids, speaks to the split identity theme in the film itself in a really interesting way...

[@jonobrow]

Really interesting to get some rare insights from Lynch into his creative process, but I think I appreciate from watching this video how he refuses to explain anything about his films or ideas in other interviews. Like, it's really interesting to hear he was interested in O J Simpson, and that he is interested in states like psychogenic fugue, but even just hearing that started to disturb the sense of enormous mystique his films have for me. I feel like I want to know what his works are about so much, but really I don't want him to tell me anything, because their mystique is so beautiful.

[@gregkuehle5461]

David is just wonderful, the man makes magic.

[@pk1645]

His views on product placement are always crystal clear.

[@j03T3XAz]

New drinking game: take a shot every time he says the word "things"

[@ginajaffa5801]

Very interesting interviews. I am learning so much from David's input. I do admire his free flow way of talking so honestly.

[@JakeV100]

David's neighbour hired a hitman hahaha

[@MarinaMrls]

I love this; this is the spirit of the film. Conceptual, abstract.

[@GreedAndSelfishness]

If nothing else, me and Lynch got one thing in common. Terrible memory.

[@tim90003]

Memory is overrated

[@ZoomingRainbowHoover]

5:48 He's gotta include another golfing scene in Twin Peaks then. It would be so fantastic to just start a new episode with Leland swinging clubs on a green course with no clear explanation of how he got there.

[@geenadasilva9287]

i love listening to Lynch describing his work. but i love his movies even more.

[@ryanjavierortega8513]

Boy, he immediately begins by linking himself to his narrator...”I can’t remember so many things!” It must be intended to inspire our memories.

[@lg.2000]

One of the greatest mystery movies of ALL time …! ❤️‍🔥✨ Must watch

[@MrLarsKoch01]

Interview's pretty solid. Interesting about the call to Lynch's house and how finding the right location for the movie was difficult

[@meursault7030]

I can definitely see the OJ thing, now that he mentions it.

[@muhammadomar2343]

This is the closest thing that David would ever explain what his film about specifically

[@Ungtartog]

The mystery man scene is my favorite part of the film.. interesting that it seems as though I picked up on the esthetic kernel of Lynch's inspiration.

[@theunknownuser9609]

Imagine going with your life knowing that you inspired David Lynch because one day you went to his door and said "Dick Laurent is dead"

[@sloburnjo]

I shouldve bought the dvd. Ive seen this upon release and then many times on VHS. psychogenic fugue is my band's name. I just viewed the new 4K VERSION - I am still overwhelmed by the production design of LH & David's sound design never mind interpreting it. I just learned he bought and then renovated that Madison house for his artistic vision.

[@superkamigurualucardmckee6181]

DAVID LYNCH IS GOLD...HIS TM CONNECTION HAS MADE A DIFFERENCE...I DON'T THINK HE GIVES A CRAP ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK !

[@no_spill]

David Lynch literally explained what the movie was about in the first answer of the video. The film as a whole is about how hard it is to make a complete film. How difficult it is for a creator to put ideas together to make a complete story. Watch it again and you'll realize.

[@diegocano5756]

thats a weird interpretation

[@LnPPersonified]

Well. This was insightful.

[@Rendezman562]

lost highway, what a beautiful mind fuck!!! Still my fave Lynch flick!!!!!

[@guymandude999]

Just watched it, again, and I'm stumped, looking for it's redeeming qualities. Lost bodies, or Lost Souls, or Lost Directors. The Mercedes ride was potent, but someone should've mentioned that 1,400 horsepower is strictly for locomotives.

You do not remember the details of making a film about lost memory, David? I really admire the way you talk about your art (in abstracts) without even saying a single thing about it, but those games make me wanna pull my hair out every damn time..

[@travisbest9041]

I love Lynch's movies and 'Lost Highway' has some of his most beautiful and unsettling imagery, but it is so unrelentingly acid and nasty. And I understand that's the nature of the film but I felt there was a lack of warmth/humanity in it that is in literally all of his other films. Thank god he got this nihilism out of his system because his next two films were overwhelming, 'The Straight Story' like an extended folk ballad and 'Mulholland Dr.' lile the adagio of a tragic Mahler symphony.

[@zyral.f.6938]

David Lynch thinking about what's real, his memory, and psychogenic fugue states, is absolutely terrifying, because of the inordinate amount of time he demonstrates calculatedly reforming catalogues of even weirder memory and cementing them into English, manifesting the current reality, this weird ass "masterpiece" that is 2024...
