David Lynch's new movie shot in DV

[Blue Velvet]

Can someone explain Mulholland Drive in a nutshell, because I saw that film last year and by the end, I couldn't stop blinking and thinking of lesbians.

In the first frames we hear someone breathing and the camera settles towards a pillow. In a nutshell, the film is a dream of an aspiring actress's rise to fame in Hollywood, instead of her infatuation and obsession with a star, degradation, and eventual suicide.

That's as best as I can do within one short paragraph.

Still winning at Cannes? Hmm... well, well.
I loved Eraserhead. I loved Twin Peaks (the TV series). I enjoyed Blue Velvet (not you).

However, I disliked The Straight Story and I more than disliked Mulholland Drive.

I agree about Twin Peaks, but I have to say that the Straight Story was one of the best written screenplays ever. I thought it was going to be stupid, but wow. I never thought that I would be sitting on the edge of my chair watching a man drive a tractor at 15miles an hour, but I was.

Lynch loves the Bobs Bigboy near Burbank. I really wanted to win the Lunch with Lynch contest, but alas, all I can do is get Pappy Parkers Chicken Snack solomente.

I do hope that this new film is a little more coherent than Mullhullland Drive- though I think I got it. I just wan’t more people to see his films so that he keeps making them.

You need to see Bound by the Wachowskis

Do you go to many film festivals? Those are usually the best places to see good work.

Yes, I try to go to film festivals but I usually find that 90% of what is shown is rehash, and dull. The other 10% are often diamonds hidden among coal, and it's often an arduous task sifting through the crap to find the real jewels.

So is he editing on a Mac?

From what I understand, David Lynch not only edits on the Mac using FCP, but his website is run by 20 or so PowerMac G4's.

Just for the record my roomate is a big David Lynch fan, and I've seen most of his work. I for one am glad Lynch is still around trying to keep art alive.

The film is a satire of Hollywood, the star system, the corruption of producers, their connections with the Mafia.

Here's a good Review
