As you’ll read below, Dunham and Lynch share many things in common beyond each having a directorial effort currently available on Disney+.įilmmaker: I wanted to begin our conversation by asking about your initial encounter with David Lynch. A few days before the screening, I phoned Dunham to discuss his initial impression of working with Lynch, how he was able to negotiate directing several episodes of Twin Peaks at the height of its popularity (Dunham’s directorial debut, seen by over 15 million viewers, aired 32 years ago today), and, after a “Laura Palmer-sized” 25-year gap, returning to work with Lynch on Showtime’s Twin Peaks: The Return. Īn industry veteran who has continued to work extensively for both Lynch and George Lucas, Dunham was recently in Chicago to partake in a Q&A for Blue Velvet last Thursday. Running through April 14th, the retrospective also includes several in-person appearances, one being from Duwayne Dunham, Lynch’s editor on Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Twin Peaks and Twin Peaks: The Return.

Weird but they don’t feel to be happening for the audience.Īnd one last point. Why does the assassin have a bad leg? Why does the hotel person have crutches?Ĭompare with the fish in the percolator or a decade later bafflement drinking espresso in mullholland drive.
Zany cooky things happen for no reason but just to be zany to us. Everything seems to exist with the audience in mind. Wild at heart doesn’t seem to have an internal purpose. Peaks had satirical elements but it didn’t seem to be manufactured for the audience. I really don’t understand it given his output in the same years.
I get the point! I groaned when the mothers picture melted away. Lynch is usually subtle but Jesus Christ did he need to mention the wizard of oz every ten mins. lol)īut wild at heart was just overall silly. I loved him in the leftovers (a film I only remembered existed just now.
