  • A film that gives you a rare glimpse into the fascinating mind of the man who created such visionary classics as Eraserhead, Mulholland Drive, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, The Elephant Man and more… Compiled from over two years of footage, the film is an intimate portrait of Lynch's creative process as he completes his latest film, INLAND EMPIRE. We are with him as he discovers the beauty in ideas, leading us on a journey through the abstract which ultimately unveils his cinematic vision.

    as well as offering fascinating insights into the working practise, philosophy and idiosyncrasy of Missoula, Montana's most famous Eagle Scout, LYNCH (one) is a work of strange and elliptical beauty in itself.

    Lynch may be the documentary David Lynch wants, but I'm not sure it's the one he or we deserve.

    This deeply undisciplined profile flaunts enviable access to Lynch’s L.A. compound and movie sets but little insight or probity.

    We get an all-access pass to watch the master at work, both on location and at his home-workshop-studio in Los Angeles. Those who aren't part of the filmmaker's substantial cult will be less intrigued.

    Filmed over a two-year period during production of David Lynch's Inland Empire, Lynch, like the feature it loosely chronicles, has no immediately discernable throughline and a wide variety of video-image densities.

    Anyone looking for a general overview of the director will do better looking elsewhere.

    Provides little new insight into Inland Empire, but it does reinforce the auteur's reputation as a one-of-a-kind genius.

    What really keeps Lynch interesting is its coverage of the production process; the access is so intimate, we feel as if we are witnessing firsthand the birth of something artistic and significant.

    Whether you dig Lynch, a feature-length video visit with the director David Lynch, will largely depend on your views of his work.

    Although fractured by the various film processes and a mix of DV and 8-mm used by the bio's director, it's actually a tightly edited, formalist movie, which in itself explains a lot about Lynch as the non-narrative filmmaker extraordinaire.

    The film would be better entitled Lynch for Beginners.

    "Lynch" is a lo-fi behind the-scenes-mini-portrait of a dry-witted artisan loyal to his search for dramatic textures.

    A forthright portrait of a sincere and fertile artist with the courage to follow his ideas wherever they lead.

    This behind-the-scenes portrait of David Lynch, shot over the two years it took him to piece together Inland Empire, is as skewed, prismatic, and free of fluff as the man himself.

    The movie’s lack of direction grows tiring after a while, but Lynch’s unfettered drive to let his mind unload is never less than fascinating.

    Much of this is tedious -- no more or less exciting than surveillance-cam footage of a regional sales manager.
