Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Film directors don't come more divisive than David Lynch. To his admirers, he is an under-appreciated visionary genius, bringing the surrealism of Jean Cocteau, Marcel Duchamp and Luis Bunuel into the Hollywood mainstream. To his detractors, his nerdish, brain-dead output is pornographic, offensive to both women and people with disabilities and, ironically, deeply conservative. Either way, works such as Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks and even Lost Highway have had an enormous impact on the contemporary mainstream. Unsurprisingly, Le Blanc and Odell ally themselves with the former camp, examining both Lynch's major film and TV work, and also less well-known and failed projects. Style, motifs and influences are analysed, and criticism is fair, recognising virtue in artistic such as like Dune and Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Internet, book and video listings are included, as is The Straight Story, but there is no conclusion, which is regrettable, given Lynch's new found humanism and sentimentality, and at under 100 pages, there is little time to deal with Lynch's detractors. Afficionados might want to check out Chris Rodley's Lynch on Lynch, or Paul A Woods's Weirdsville USA, but for newcomers this a good introduction to a flawed but fascinating talent. --Stephen Portlock

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent introduction, 2 April 2000
By A Customer
This is a great little book, full of interesting facts. The authors write with enthusiasm and insight but keep a light touch perfect for the format. It made me want to rewatch the old favourites, especially Twin Peaks, and rush out to find those Lynch films I've not yet seen.
