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.

I can't find the review, but I remember reading one that said something like "Most Lynch films were a journey into strangeness, with an ambiguous and transformed return at the end, but with Inland Empire, he just aimed that wagon train out dead center of Lynchenstien, and the party was never heard from again."

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.

I love inland empire but I think my take on it is an uncommon one I guess the rely short version is that I think Inland Empire is about the way we tell stories and the way those stories echo throughout time and get retold in new ways, and ultimately how they take on a reality of their own.

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!

Agree with most except for FWWM, which is a double s for Sheryl Lee's performance alone. Edit: I'd also argue that FWWM does congeal with Twin Peaks as a concept, considering that we only experience Laura's suffering very passively in the show to the extent that we forget that it's even there.

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.

Didnt know a single thing about it going in and the genuinely well-done queer relationship in a film by an old white dude took me COMPLETELY by surprise. The first hour is so warm and cozy and it uses the last third to completely break your heart into a million pieces. I still couldn’t even tell you what all of it means on an analytical level but my soul just *felt* that shit. Big tears lmao

Lynch uses inner monologue directly from Dune because it's his own wacky way of staying true to the literary facet of the material... It's his only direct adaptation of something he wasn't inherently influenced by, a chance to experiment with internal thoughts as narration... Great film less the whole whitewashed Twin Peaks cast....

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.

I vividly remember, a show, David Lynch did about a bunch of people wearing rabbit masks and it was like a sitcom where there was a laugh track in the background, I don't remember where I saw it I just know that it exists. 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.

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.

The Straight Story was not produced by Disney, they only picked up the US distribution rights after the film was made. Mary Sweeney, David's close collaborator and wife at the time, heard the real story of Alvin Straight and offered a screenplay based on the story to David. It was then produced and funded mostly by French studios and I believe Film4 (who own the British distribution rights). But it's still interesting Disney looked at a David Lynch film and said "let's release this".

To be fair, I haven't seen it since I was a teenager so maybe I'd feel different if I watched it now, but I found it so incredibly harrowing and affecting at the time. Do agree with Muholland Drive, what a fantastic film. You talking about semiotics also reminded me, I would recommend to everyone the video essay David Lynch: The Treachery of Language by What's so Great About That, I think its a great look at some of the things you touch on in this video.

YAY! I'm prepared to get angry at at least one placement on this tier list (probably Mulholland Drive. I'm VERY defensive of Mulholland Drive). EDIT: Now that I've seen the video, I'm quite pleased with where Mulholland Drive! I remember my BFF Sara brought it over to watch years ago when I was first getting into film seriously, and said, "there's no way you're going to understand this film." 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.

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

Corrections: -Dumbland is not a TV show. It was a pre-KZbin web series distributed through Lynch's website and eventually on DVD. He really embraced the internet in its early days -David Lynch did not make The Straight Story _for_ Disney. Lynch made TSS by himself, and then after its Cannes premiere Disney bought the distribution rights Oh also the inner thoughts of the characters of Dune aren't just a Lynch thing, it's a HUGE point in the book. There is constant inner monologue. Characters are always trying to figure out what the others are thinking based on body language and such and sometimes they can cause of weird spice stuff

FWWM was my first exposure to David Lynch, when I randomly caught it on HBO or something in the late 90s. It was an absolutely traumatizing imprinting experience and I love it dearly 💗

May, you mention that one thing that makes Twin Peaks great is that it's a collaborative effort, and while I totally agree, I think David Lynch would disagree. Why? Because Lynch stated that he rejects the "auteur" label and that *all* his films and projects are collaborations. That's how fuckin cool our boy David is.

I remember the end of Inland Empire really fucking with me when I watched it ages ago, like I had been lulled into this weird state after being confused for hours, and it was so jarring and surreal that it kind of freaked me out. weird ass movie

I was about to complain that "My Son My Son What Have You Done" wasn't on the list (it would be at the bottom because it's not amazing) but then I checked the IMDb listing and Lynch only has an executive producer credit. I had thought he co-directed it with Werner Herzog but he apparently didn't, but there are at least a couple scenes he must've secretly directed. There is literally no way he didn't write and direct the scene of Grace Zabriskie confronting her son. Watch that scene, the film is not great but it has a couple tasty moments.

as a huge Lynch stan, this is the type content i crave. my favorite thing about him is his refusal to give any explanation or interpretation to his films. i saw a Q+A with him once where a student asked what the meaning of some imagery was and his response was “well what did YOU think it meant?” he knows that the audience isn’t stupid, and it allows for many different interpretations of his films and works to be valid. my top 3 go: 1)Mulholland Drive 2)Wild at Heart 3)Lost Highway

ok I'm going to say it. for me, david lynch's dune is a good movie. I'd put it in A tier or even S tier. Ok i've said it. It really helps if you've read the book first, and it really helps if you have your brain wide open. But its sort of like fantastic planet - its so alien in its construction and design that I get the feeling of traveling to a truly otherworldly place lot more than I do with other more conventional sci-fi movies. And yes, I've seen the new adaptation, which to me is fairly lifeless due to its use of CGI. Frankly I miss practical effects - everything has so much more weight with them. The only thing in the new one that beats the old one is Stellan Skarsgard's Harkonnen - but after all he is Stellan Skarsgard.
