I'm just imagining David Lynch having Derrida's interview on the American attitude and the demand to elaborate so common in interviews on his mind when Lynch said "no." It's as if he was saying, 'I have no ready made discourse on Eraserhead. I made a film. If you want to see what I have to say about it, go watch it. I will not do your work for you or attempt to remake it in words on command.'

"Mulholland Drive" is my favorite film as well. However, I subscribe to the theory that it is about the "casting couch", and how Hollywood eats up and spits out actresses. But no interpretation of Lynch is ever wrong, which is wonderful. The man himself refuses to explain his films because he wants the audience to bring their own life experience to the act of watching his movies.

David Lynch seems more weird that he is because most of his work is still distinctly American. Yes even when he is poking fun at "Americana" and 50s culture it's still a familiar backframe of American Culture most viewers are familiar with but then get disoriented when he intentionally subverts basically all those American sensitives. But many other film makers make similarly surreal films without that aspect, some of which you've talked at length before but hey I am always for such a smart person like you to take a look at even more of these types of films which happen to be my favorite so I guess this is me saying: More of this please, thanks, love your channel!

My problem with Lost Highway was that I enjoyed it stylistically, sonically, had some really really striking images and some excellent moments. But while the dreamy moments in his films might not be super clear narratively, he's usually very very good at maintaining a congruent emotional throughline. I might not immediately get what's "happening" but I feel what's going on. With Lost Highway I never knew quite what to feel and therefore never really cared. That said, Patricia Arquette said Gaslight Gatekeep Girlboss and we love that for her.

There's not a limitless supply of great things to discover, so only stumbling upon Lynch in my 30s was good timing, I feel. Mid 20s sounds rad also. If you're into a lot of media, the pacing really influences your reception. At some point, I started getting into stuff I previously wouldn't have considered, in terms of genre for example, because it was becoming harder to be amazed by films or music or art from areas I already knew well. I wish you luck with future discoveries.

I think that your takes are definitely solid. I'd put Eraserhead in SS tier but I also understand why it doesn't appeal to everyone as much as it appeals to me, and I do think that there is something to admire about his works that more seamlessly blend the surreal and the narrative. The only really spicy take I thought you had was ranking FWWM lower than the rest of Twin Peaks. I understand what you mean when you say it didn't gel for you with the world but for me it is such an incredible vision of that world. Like the horror of Twin Peaks was usually implied or lurking below the surface because they were limited by the format in what they could show. And Showing that horror in FWWM is so powerful. Also one of the most transcendent theater experiences of my life was seeing it at the Alamo Drafthouse a few years ago. The Pink Room scene in a theater with a fucking LOUD as FUCK soundsystem was just like an out of body experience.

Inland Empire was my first-ever introduction to David Lynch, it was showing at a local theater and a friend who's a Lynch fan but hadn't seen IE invited me to go without either of us knowing what we were getting into. I made it through almost the entire film until the scene with the two homeless women talking about Niko (idk if it's even possible to spoil IE but if you've seen the movie you know what I mean). I got up and left the theater because for some reason it shook me to my absolute core. I couldn't get myself to go back in and just stood outside until it finished. I've never in my life had a reaction to a film like that, and at first I honestly thought I hated it until I had time to talk about it with my friend and think over it. I decided to go home and watch the ending... then scour Reddit for theories... then find this video, and now I kinda wanna watch all of Lynch's movies. So in a roundabout way it made me a fan? Never wanna watch it again though. One time was enough.

Could you talk about that? I don't remember it being particularly disturbing, but it was eerie for sure. Because the people in the rabbit masks would say random things but it seemed like a coherent story just out of order if you're going by what the rabbits were saying. I really like David Lynch, he really gets me looking at symbolism for a change instead of just taking a movie for what it is.

And somehow, I ended up understanding roughly 75-80% of it. Needless to say, Sara got mad at me. I told her that the only reason I seemed to get it was because I had watched Ingmar Bergman's "Persona" about a month prior, and there are some key similarities between those films.

Lost Highway, a film which I respect greatly, in many ways feels like a rough draft for the lightning in a bottle that Mulholland Drive wound up being. I love Patricia Arquette's interpretation of it though, and I love the idea of a character literally changing to someone else that he's rather be to escape his bleak existence (and as a mega fan of the HBO show Barry I think Bill Hader is low key trying something similar with the last season but I won't say anything else...) Also Michael Haneke TOTALLY stole the "couple receives a video recording of their own home" from Lost Highway for Cache. Cache is probably a better film but STILL.

Okay-to your point about Lost Highway. Yes. It feels claustrophobically tight. I remember seeing it in the 90s and wondering why it felt that way, and deciding it was because the movie is about this guy who is trying to exert an impossible amount of control over his life-his wife, their past, their weird uncomfortable house (even their sex life looks uptight)-so he finally breaks, but he’s so tightly wound that he’s trying to somehow humpty-dumpy his memory, psyche, and life back together-so I thought it served the narrative. But I didn’t love it. Was Lynch working out his own obsession with control through this film? (I like it more now, probably because Lynch moved on from this phase-Mulholland Drive was everything I ever wanted from Lynch and so much more, with even more of the loose dreamy quality he used so effectively in his best earlier films--including Wild at Heart. That film f*cks (literally)).

I really hope in his new Netflix show Lynch is given full creative control + that Netflix budget. I want to see him go wild

I take beef with you putting the straight story at the bottom. Such an emotional movie.

S Tier: Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Fire Walk With Me, Twin Peaks Return A Tier: Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Probably Inland Empire but I've only made it all the way through once and it's very hard to rate anyway B Tier: Wild At Heart, The Elephant Man C Tier: D Tier: Dune Haven't Seen: The Straight Story

Weird, I was thinking of David Lynch while watching your last videos and you make this 😄 P.S. I like your shirt

I have not seen A Straight Story but I've seen Maggie May Fish's video comparing it to Rambo and, though it was funded by Disney, I love it for dealing with that subject matter the right way and also for talking about guilt/conveying guilt so well

i watched inland empire, my first lynch movie, the other night, and yes the only way you could really describe it is by calling it an scp that's exactly what it is, and honestly all i want to do is watch it again

As someone who's only seen Twin Peaks (and Fire Walk with Me) I greatly enjoyed hearing you talk about the rest of his filmography. Definitely gonna check some of these out :O
