"Part Two: David Lynch on Film" Author: [US] Richard A. Barney, Publisher: Nanjing University Press

【Book Introduction】

David Lynch, the director of Mulholland Drive and Twin Peaks, is an internationally renowned Hollywood genius and winner of the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement. In the past thirty years, no director has been able to make better films than Lynch. There have been more fascinating, more controversial, more perplexing films, and no director more reluctant to talk about his creations than Lynch.

"Night Walk: David Lynch on Film" includes 23 important interviews with Lynch, spanning more than 30 years, many of which are translated into Chinese for the first time. These are also the few interviews in which Lynch opens his heart and speaks frankly, covering all aspects of his creation and life, recording his unique interpretation of his own films, his philosophy of life, and his profound exploration of topics such as violence, terror, cities, desire, women, birth, aging, illness and death, and modern people's anxiety. Movies, paintings, music, furniture design; modern but disturbing New York, decayed and filthy but ancient and beautiful Philadelphia; childhood memories, absurd stories, surrealist images... everything captures people's hearts in Lynch's elusive conversations and silence.

My childhood was beautiful but weird. I longed for my parents to quarrel, was afraid of big cities and subways, had crazy dreams, was always a peacemaker, witnessed the birth of my daughter, had a deep understanding of sex, aging and death, loved meditation, owned three houses but often cried poor, witnessed the Philadelphia shooting, and liked to dismember animals...
