Simon T Apr 7 The David Lynch of Eraserhead, Fire Walk With Me and Lost Highway is ill-served here by this indulgent and incoherent hagiography. Shot during the preproduction of Inland Empire, Lynch is seen photographing the interiors of his beloved deserted factories, recording eerie sounds, and chain-smoking. It's a real patience tester, especially as so much of it is shot using filters or deliberately lo-grade stock. Very dreary. See more Mason M 09/22/2024 I really enjoyed the filmmaker's later Lynch documentary, The Art Life. And I love Inland Empire, but this was just a disappointment. This is slow, uninteresting, and not very insightful into David Lynch See more 04/17/2015 A bizarre & unusual documentary that doesn't have any other goal but just too simply show David Lynch in all his calmness & craziness. It shows many sides of his personality but fails to grip with no structure what so ever and that may appeal to die hard fans of Lynch. The film mainly focuses on him filming Inland Empire his longest & in my opinion more bizarre film. I really appreciate David Lynch as an artist but failed to appreciate this piece on him. See more 05/30/2013 I was really disappointed with this. Pretty as a Picture and dozens of others offer more insight into the art of Lynch and scratches the surface of how he works..this doesn't really. While it features a few interesting scenes that are you classic Davey, it just doesn't hold up, especially to Lynch 2 on the Inland Empire DVD. See more 01/22/2013 Undeniably the best David Lynch documentary. The cameras follow Lynch first on a photography project, painting, while he runs his website, but then also making "Inland Empire". The film is pure insight into the creative man's thought process. Missing though is meditation which is talked about, but not fully shown. There's one thing for certain while watching it: The man isn't crazy. See more 03/26/2012 The Unknown director ,black AND white, forgets that Documentary films have to have some form of Narrative to keep the Audience Interests. Lynch is typical strange as he is, but that is basically all it is. We don't learn anything new about him and find some form of connection the director. See more Read all reviews
