Yeah I'm a fan of 'Vargtimmen' as well. VERY atmospheric and moody! You're right,Lynch is probably a fan of this as well. By Christ,Max Von Sydow looks young in it don't he?

He really does. He'd have been late 30s, I think.

For me Lynch is the King, the Daddy, the Numero Uno. I saw Eraserhead on VHS when I was around 16, Blue Velvet at the cinema on my 18th birthday (with a bottle of voddy and coke under the seat) and every one on the big screen since - never been disappointed, he's the greatest living director bar none because his work cares not a shit for convention, expectations or commercial success. I genuinely couldn't single out a 'best' movie but I would say that Fire Walk With Me is the single most underrated film in his ouvre. It's a comedy/spoof of his Twin Peaks career, it's a harrowing study of incest and addiction (Sheryl Lee won the Oscar that year don't let anyone tell you different), it's a horror movie with one of the (BOB!) greatest ever boogeymen, it's teenage high school movie (BOBBY!), but more than anything it's a David Lynch movie complete with killer soundtrack, one-liners and bat-shit surrealism. The Elephant Man is also the only movie to make me cry and Inland Empire has the best end credits sequence in film history. I love David Lynch.

On my second run of Lynch's boxset.... The start of Lost Highway is CLASS! But then,halfway through we get that WTF happened here?

Just stop trying to make any sense of it, and just go with it same with Mulholland Dr. and Inland Empire, a trilogy of sublime impenetrable nuttiness . . .

Maybe because I've just recently watched Mulholland Drive for a second time, watching Lost Highway for the first time last night it didn't seem that WTF!? to me. Now Eraserhead was a different matter altogether! I haven't watched it for a few years, but while I admired it very much, I thought the ending was a piss take. We be interesting to watch it again soon. Don't know whether to take a chance on the Twin Peaks boxset. (As I know who the killer is.) I started to watch it at the time but once I had missed a few episodes, I gave up. |
