David Lynch: The Master of Film Mystery

#9 His collaboration with Kyle MacLachlan continues, but this time, instead in some 10-thousand-and-some year somewhere in the Universe, the story is placed in the 20th century on Earth, somewhere in the heart of the white America. And what’s to be found there, under its surface? And why and how Denis Hopper #10 manages to be so convincing in the role of a psychopath? How to comprehend the end of the film? And who killed Lora Palmer? Well, this question will become really actual in 1990, when the first season of “Twin Peaks” will be emitted on the TV screens, becoming a global TV phenomenon, a TV-soap as none before. Kyle MacLachlan and Jack Nance, once again. Sherillyn Fenn and Lara Flyn Boyle for the first time. Fantastic music title, sampled from Moby from his great hit “Go”… The same year, David Lynch gets the “Golden Palm” in Kan for the hellish road-film “Wild at Heart” with Nicholas Cage, Laura Dern and the ingenious Willem Dafoe as Bobby Peru… On HBO in 1992, the three-episode serial “The Hotel Room” will be shown (Lynch directed the 1st and the 3rd episode). The same year, the serial “Twin Peaks” will have its prequel in a form of feature film named as “Twin Peaks: Fire, Walk With Me” (in the film also appears David Bowie).
#15 After the five-year abstinence from the feature film director’s chair, not taking in account his contribution in the project “Lumiere and Company”, in 1997 he appears with another ultimate head-fuck from his psychotic workshop, the film “The Lost Highway”, adopted by the Barrie Guilford novel, with the excellent soundtrack where, by the regular Angelo Badalamenti, there also found a place NIN, Bowie, Smashing Pumpkins, Barry Adamson, Rammstein. Kyle MacLachlan is absent, but here we get Bill Pullman in the role so different than that in “Independence Day”, and in a short cameo role there appears even Marilyn Manson himself. In 1999, his “Lynch-Non-Lynch” film “Straight Story” gets the European Film Award, and two years later, at the last year’s Kan Film Festival, together with Joel Cohen, he gets the Best Directing Award for the phenomenal “Mulholland Drive”. #2 And INSTEAD OF A STANDARD CONCLUSION, here we give you some of the Lynch’s thoughts about the film music and about the film in general:
#7 „The music is of a real importance for me since the period when I was a little kid, and it’s really amazing how much we know without being aware of that. For instance, I’m not some kind of a scholar in music, but when one gets into it, he discovers how much he actually knows about the form”… Or what he thinks about the films: “I like to make films because I love to travel in different worlds. I like to be lost in some kind of different worlds. My films are like film paintings – dynamic moving portraits captured on the celluloid. Among the directors I find inspiring, there are: Billy Wilder, Federiko Fellini, Ingmar Bergman, John Ford, Orson Wells, Werner Herzog, Stanley Cubrick, Alfred Hitchcock, Frances Ford Copolla and Ernst Lubic”.
