A very good documentary that is insightful of David Lynch's career, and a good watch for any fans of Lost Highway.

A very simply constructed & more intimate documentary on legendary Art House director David Lynch.
More focused on his creative process than his actual films I appreciate that unique outlook of this Doco Film.
He is no doubt a strange figure in Cinema but this film definitely adds the human element to him.

It's always fun to see David Lynch: The Man. While, there's a great look at the young Lynch, this doc offers no real insight into his work -- Granted, David doesn't like to talk about his work. However, the cameras are following him making "Lost Highway" -- let's see more of his process! What there is (like how to solve for a rain problem) is brilliant and fascinating.

This is a straightforward documentary about the not terribly straightforward subject of David Lynch. It was shot during the making of Lost Highway, and features interviews with Lynch himself, as well as such Lynch associates as composer Angelo Badalamenti, Jack Fisk, Patricia Arquette, Dean Stockwell, and Mel Brooks (who produced The Elephant Man). The movie covers the sort of territory you would expect, showing Lynch on set and during the recording of the musical score. The interviews also cover some of Lynch's previous films, including Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, and at one point Lynch and some of the people he made Eraserhead with go back to the tiny studio where they had shot that movie. Lynch himself comes across as a weird but affable guy in the documentary, though there's something kind of creepy behind his eyes. The movie doesn't go terribly in depth on what any of Lynch's movies mean, of course, but it does give you some nice contextual information about Lynch's work. The movie doesn't get to the bottom of the mystery of David Lynch, but it is breezy and accessible and more fun to watch than about half of Lynch's actual films.

Great overview of Lynch's career up to the late '90s, very engrossing from beginning to end for those of us who find the man's crazy oeuvre worth pursuing.
I particularly enjoyed the look into his artwork, absolutely none of which I would ever want in my house, because the man may be slightly crazy. That said, it's still fascinating to watch him work.
Recommended.
