A couple of days of very contrasting viewing.

David Lynch? 3 hours long? Shot on DV? Hell yeah! Another mindmelt that splits audiences down the middle. A difficult watch for sure but at least the guy is original and makes you think with each movie. I loved it!

Unimpressed on first viewing. Second viewing was much better but it still falls into a lot hackneyed crap. Get's better though and Toby Kebbell is once again a star in the making.

Public Enemies and I enjoyed it quite a lot.

Just watched it. Nothing to add to what you already said. Fantastic film.

You can never go wrong with a Lynch movie.

Have you seen it? I have to say that the DV is horrible and doesn't translate well to DVD and the camera Lynch used is now retailing around $2,000! However it's perfect for the film and it helps retain the intimate aesthetic he wanted.

The DV was his choice as it's the easiest to use following his writing technique. He was directly taping on video the scene he visualized in his head, and then he tried tie them together into some kind of almost story lol. That's why things seemed so incoherent, but who cares, as you said, the guy's original.

Although I love the image aesthetics in Lynch's movies, which in this one will be a great miss, I guess the sound design is the real work of creation with Lynch, imo.

You can if that movie is Dune.

I was trying to erase that thing from my memory !!! :banghead:
Are you familiar with his short movies ?

U noticed the sound design? :) My new favourite poster! I only listened to the film with the stereo (2.0) soundscape and haven't yet checked out the 5.1 soundtrack on the disc although using a DV camera there is a lot that seemed to get lost in translation.

I agree completely with your statement about why he used DV and in terms of the story it was the best choice but as he used a standard definition camera (just before the current HD BOOM), the picture is very grainy in parts and loses a little power.

Heh. :laughing:

No, I don't think I've ever seen any of his short films.

Yeah I know, I don't get his self-sabotage side lol.
And when you talk about sound in movies, nobody can be a sound designer and not get obsessed with Lynch's ingenuity in the studio. It's experimental all the way, nothing is good to do or bad to do, he just does it ... and only get liked by his restrained fan base lol.

** Oh and the album I sent you on the weekly trade (Julee Cruise's), was co-written by Lynch.

I made some kind of a summarized review of the must seen Lynch short movies. Which are the only works, in my opinion, that let him act freely and experiment on his will, without having a budget problem. It's like Lynch, raw.
