{"product_id":"david-lynch-interviews-9781604732375","title":"David Lynch: Interviews","description":"Few directors in the past three decades have produced movies more compelling, controversial, or confounding than David Lynch (b. 1946). And fewer still have been so reluctant to talk about what they do. In this collection, editor Richard A. Barney has chosen the rare interviews in which Lynch opens up to questions rather than deflecting them. Whether Lynch is talking about his earliest film shorts such as \u003ci\u003eThe Grandmother\u003c\/i\u003e or the breakout surrealist feature \u003ci\u003eEraserhead\u003c\/i\u003e, the hit TV series \u003ci\u003eTwin Peaks\u003c\/i\u003e or his Oscar-nominated \u003ci\u003eThe Elephant Man\u003c\/i\u003e or \u003ci\u003eBlue Velvet\u003c\/i\u003e or his experimental tours de force, \u003ci\u003eMulholland Drive\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eInland Empire\u003c\/i\u003e, he stresses the power of image and sound to communicate his vision. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eDavid Lynch: Interviews\u003c\/i\u003e is the first survey of conversations with the director covering the broad spectrum of his artistic activities throughout his career, including filmmaking, painting, music production, and furniture design. It documents the evolution of Lynch's role in discussing his movies, from his self-described \"pre-verbal stage\" in the early years to his increasingly elaborate, though persistently elusive, articulations. It also registers the intense international interest in Lynch's work, with interviews from French and Spanish sources translated here for the first time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRichard A.
