Mulholland Dr. - A Psychoanalytic Analysis

Here is an excellent overview and analysis of director David Lynch's work done by Lewis Criswell on his YouTube channel. I like his use of clips here to punctuate his video essay's points. Whatever personal conclusions you come to, the clips themselves are useful at setting up the mood and overall atmosphere of David Lynch's work.

Inland Empire Analysis - Renegade Cut

We end our presentation of Renegade Cut's David Lynch series of video essays with the YouTuber's analysis of the master director's final feature film to date to be exhibited in movie theaters: Inland Empire (2006).

Twin Peaks: The Return

Twin Peaks (1990-91) was like the candle that burned twice as bright and lived half as long. For it to get a rebirth is like the Phoenix taking flight again after resurrecting out of its own ashes. It is an amazing time to be a TV viewer.

Rate and Review My Books to Show Your Support

My blog formed the foundation of my efforts in my first book series, 40 Years of David Lynch, but here I will provide even my veteran blog readers with something new.

The blog is a bit more superficial and on the surface, focused more on visuals and video clips.
