Aster's latest had a strong Lynch vibe.
Mr Bake-Sale, these edits are understated. Love the choices !
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.
It reminded me of eraserhead a bit with the anxiety laden world we’re in when watching it
Same can't wait to own Beau on Blu Ray. I saw Hereditary on release day in theaters and regret not going to see Beau. It's a masterpiece
also my favourite! I thought so many people missed out on how great beau is
1:33 words out of my head, 100% his most Philadelphian flick, very clear to me after watching the art life.
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.
@@orpheus9037 I individually think that with the exception of Inland Empire, although others disagree, and Dune are the only Lynch films that are not fantastic.
@@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. 🤷♀️😂
@@rebeccahopkins9522 That's a cool story. Didn't know Inland Empire was playing on HBO back in the day.
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
step printing!
You actually turn your shutter speed down really to get that effect.
You can do it on post, at least on digital camera, and you need to turn the shutter speed down, he also overlay the same frame with delay
Ari's a genius, I could listen to him talk about films forever. Or about anything really.
I wonder what he thinks about Charlie Kaufman. Beau is afraid gave me heavy Kaufman vibes. Specifically Syenchdoche Newyork
Two great artists
Love Aster and Lynch!
If you haven't watched Lynch then you haven't watched cinema in its fullness.
The guy is and was blessed if only he got producers.
1 eraserhead
2 Mulholland dr
3 blue velvet
Elephant Man is the saddest movie I’ve ever seen
If you made a list of who all the smartest directors in history are, David Lynch is going to be a lot higher on that list that I bet a lot of people might think.
What does it mean when a film is «textural»?
I think it means that the film has unique texture and feel to it
Detail
You can tell that Ari just generally knows about David Lynch and his style.
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.
Great pairing -- are you on Patreon?
what is this interview from?
It’s AI generated
@@lesryglrhfohser nah
The Elephant Man is my favorite David Lynch film. What does that tell you? That I don’t like David Lynch films.
These clips are too short
🤍
Not even a fan of Ari or any of his films, have really disliked most of what I've seen of his films, but he actually just sounds like an actual lovely person! The way he describes Lynch is perfect!
Agreed
Horrible way to advertise your podcast but go off queen
@@whiskeywayne91 hahah fair enough lol
Ari aster is an abstract artist just like Lynch. Some aspects of Beau is Afraid really remind me of Eraserhead
@hippiecheezburger5457 I always found Ari to never make his films scary or beautiful they are just shocking for being shocking
Ari aster isnt fit to light lynch's cigarette
How do I delete someone else's comment
Ari Aster isn't that much. 1/2 a decent film...
