    Aster's latest had a strong Lynch vibe.

    Just seen Beau the film is fantastic also very Lynch-like, heavy emphasis on psychological horror and self-recognition.
    It's my favorite Ari Aster film.

    Know they’re not most people’s preferred Lynch films, but I always feel compelled to mention them whenever Lynch (my fav director of all time) is brought up. Many people detest them or have never even seen them. One is notoriously hard to get ahold of, another very hard to comprehend, and yet another terrifyingly abstract and genuinely horrifying- and all make it harder still to convince people of their artistic virtue. I love Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet. But to me, Lynch’s most profound films are Wild At Heart, Lost Highway, Fire Walk With Me, and I’ll even throw in Inland Empire here. All are true masterpieces of cinema. So misunderstood yet so artistically brilliant and powerful and highly original. No one does it like Lynch. It’s always so great to hear him praised by a seminal and current filmmaker, especially from the horror genre.

      For me it always feels sad to me that The Straight Story, Wild at Heart, and Dune are not talked about nearly as much as they should be. I feel both Wild at Heart and The Straight Story are fantastic examples of Lynch's empathy and include some fantastic surrealist moments. With Dune, I like it although it is a mess, we can't pretend that Lynch's career was forever influenced by it, so it needs to be discussed.

      Actually Fire Walk with Me has undergone a critical re-evaluation and seems to be finding new respect. It does contain some of Lynch's most astonishing imagery. Myself, I'm inclined to think Lost Highway is also one of Lynch's masterpieces - a word I typically hesitate to use. But I think the true point about Lynch's films, regardless of how one ranks them in a critical hierarchy, is that they all continue to remain relevant, they continue to be watched, they continue to be discussed and argued about. Lynch's films will continue to find audiences, even his less appreciated works. I found Inland Empire exasperating to get through, still, I'd like to sit down and watch it again because, well, it's a Lynch film and it deserves that sort of attention.

      @@davidunderwood1773 Inland Empire holds a special place in my 🖤 and always will. Here’s why:
      When my daughter was around 12 or so, we came upon this movie playing on hbo or showtime etc. And it was the part with the rabbits, doing the stage play. And my daughter was fascinated by it, and so was I. There was something so whimsically horrific going on with those rabbits that we couldn’t look away. It drew us in immediately, even as it became more and more unsettling. So needless to say, my daughter fell in love with Inland from that day on. We don’t even call it Inland Empire; we call it “The Rabbits”. 🤣 And it remains one of those films that my now adult daughter (who lives about two hours away from us now in her own home) and I love to get together and rewatch. She’ll just say “Let’s watch the rabbits” and we put it on. So it has a special meaning to us. It’s just pure nostalgia at this point. 🤷‍♀️😂

    Ive never been able to find anything super concrete evidence wise, but supposedly Kubrick loved Eraserhead and screened it for the Shining (i believe) cast before/during filming

      David Lynch wrote about it in his book saying crew members of Kubrick’s told him the story. I presume they would have debunked it if it wasn’t true.

    i think the technique he's looking for at 2:25 is 'long shutter times' which is actually something you do in camera, not in post

    Eraserhead is essentially one long nightmare. Probably nightmares that Lynch has actually had, and the reason he doesn't really talk about the movie is because he doesn't want people to think he's a freak. But we've all had fears manifest into weird things in dreams.
