Over the course of two years, beginning as director David Lynch started working on a project that would eventually become “Inland Empire”, a small documentary crew was allowed to follow the director during his day-to-day business on location and at home. The result was LYNCH (ONE), an intimate portrait of the David Lynch’s creative process, coming to DVD on 22nd June 2009 courtesy of Scanbox Entertainment.
Given Lynch’s usual reluctance to discuss the subjects and themes of his films, LYNCH (ONE) is, perhaps, the closest fans will ever get to a “making of” documentary, in this instance, the making of “Inland Empire”. Compiled from over two years of footage, the film provides a fascinating insight into the creative mind of one of cinema’s most original and interesting filmmakers and, as such, is essential viewing for David Lynch fans and general cineastes alike.
Prior to the release of LYNCH (ONE), on 8th June 2009 Scanbox Entertainment will also be releasing David Lynch’s DUMBLAND for the first time on DVD in the UK. Consisting of eight animated vignettes written, directed, voiced and animated by Lynch himself (he also composed and performed the show’s music) originally produced as exclusive content for his official website, DUMBLAND has been described by its director as “a crude, stupid, violent and absurd series.” And he’s not wrong. Every bit as weird, profane and provocative as you would expect from the man responsible for “Eraserhead”, “Twin Peaks”, “Blue Velvet” and “Mulholland Drive”, DUMBLAND may be absurdist and deliberately low-brow in nature but it is also very funny and will delight fans of the director’s more “out there” works.
