Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
You know David Lynch as the director of terminally weird movies such as Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, and Wild at Heart, as well as the bizarre and highly influential television series Twin Peaks. But did you know that it was Mel Brooks who gave him his first big break? That the idea for Blue Velvet grew out of a fantasy Lynch had about sneaking into a private room and learning the secret to a murder mystery? That Twin Peaks came about because co-creator Mark Frost was obsessed with Marilyn Monroe?
In Lynch on Lynch, a 250-page interview book, editor Chris Rodley does a superb job of getting Lynch to talk at length about the high and low points of his life and career. Their conversation covers his early work as a painter through the making of his major films of the 1980s, the fiasco of Dune ("It is what it is"), and the recent and very obscure Lost Highway ("I just loved this title").
Lynch is particularly interesting when he talks about the creative process: "I don't want to give the impression that I sit around thinking up horrible things. I get all kinds of different ideas and feelings. If I'm lucky, they start organizing themselves into a story--then maybe some ideas come along that are too eerie, too violent, or too funny, and they don't fit that story. So you write them down and save them for two or three projects down the road. There's nowhere you can't go in a film--if you think of it, you can go there." Lynch on Lynch is a treat for Lynch fans of all shapes, sizes and fetishes. -- Dieser Text bezieht sich auf eine vergriffene oder nicht verfügbare Ausgabe dieses Titels.

Format:Taschenbuch
Of the many books on David Lynch and his work, this collection of intriguing interviews continues to be the most rewarding for me. Instead of the usual analytical essays and speculations, Chris Rodley is fortunate enough to get comments from the infamous director himself. Lynch discusses all of his major films up to 1997 (even the troublesome "Dune" and "Fire Walk With Me," which he's usually reluctant to go into) as well as his photography, painting, and scultpure work, his soundtracks and musical collaborations, and even the television commercials he's done. While he still doesn't reveal most of the bigger mysteries in his films (like how the "Eraserhead" baby was done), he does offer some valuable insight into many of his visions. He confesses his love of textures, and why certain elements pop up repeatedly in his work (flames, electricity, doppelgängers, smoke, piles of dirt). He also addresses the issue of sex and violence in movies, and the challenge of working within the limits of television. A surprising amount of personal history is covered along the way, from his childhood to his college days to his marriage. The conversation is fascinating, and fans of Lynch will be enraptured as he indulges us on the various things that thrill him. This book is mostly text with an occasional B&W photo or still, so those looking for a color picture book will be disappointed. It's a great read and well worth your time, providing a rare glimpse into the mind of a truly unique filmmaker.

Lynch on Lynch is an interview with David Lynch, about his life, his artistic philosophies, and the making of his films. It is a pretty in depth study of Lynch, so it's alot of fun for big Lynch fans that want to know about HIM. But it should be said that it is pretty skimpy on pictures, so those expecting good color shots of his paintings and movies will be dissapointed, with the exeption of Henry Spencer on the back of the dust jacket.

Great, insightful book on a living legend
10. Mai 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
This is a great book written by Chris Rodley that is basically a series of interviews with living legend David Lynch. If you're not into Lynch or his movies at all, I doubt you'll find anything insightful in here but if you appreciate the man at all, this is definitely a must read. It covers a lot of ground on his upbringing, film and art projects. What makes this book such a good read is that Rodley asks great questions to which Lynch answers in a very entertaining fashion. Reading this is probably the closest thing to actually speaking to him and he has an incredible, warm personality. While he doesn't give up his secrets too readily, he does share personal opinions on art in general (film, painting, photography, etc.) and what makes art powerful. He offers invaluable insight on the filmmaking process and some details on what it took to get his films made. He talks about his successes and debacles with equal parts candidness as well. I highly recommend this book to anyone who appreciates Lynch and anyone who digs offbeat filmmakers.
(NOTE: Make sure that if you pick this up, you get the edition that has been revised and updated to include "Mulholland Drive")

The one to get
19. Juli 2006
Format:Taschenbuch
In this revised edition of "Lynch on Lynch", two new sections have been added: one on the Straight Story and one on Mulholland Drive. As with the rest of the book the updated sections consist of Chris Rodley interviewing David Lynch. While some of the dialogue does become a bit repetitive, the questions really are well posed. In his answers Lynch gives a glimpse of his creative process and more; for example, he discusses the links between Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard and Mulholland Drive, talks about both his frustration with the TV medium and his attraction to it, as well as divulging more about his partnership with composer, Angelo Badalamenti (one of the most productive relationships between director and composer since Fellini and Nino Rota). Black and white photographs from sets are also included throughout.
Considering the book in its entirety, it is a very comprehensive work, covering everything from the aforementioned material to Lynch's childhood, his early work in painting and the first experimental films he directed. This book is still THE one to get for fans of David Lynch. Reading it one comes away with the sense of having actually met and talked with the man himself -- none of the other books on Lynch really capture this feeling.
Those who already own the old version of the book may want to think twice about purchasing the revised edition. The sections added are not all that lengthy and much of the material has already been discussed elsewhere.

For artists experiencing an inspiration block...
18. Dezember 1998
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
LOVED IT! If you are an artist no matter what medium, this book unravels more inspirations than your mind can possibly hold. David Lynch, known for his inability to express himself in words, ironically sends tantilizing pieces emerging into (in my mind) a complete puzzle. The essence of a great artist. Doesn't matter if your style differs from his, its a fundamental uniform feeling we tend to forget. Simplicity is good. Recommendation: Read this book slowly...what's the rush?
