Stanley was one of the ‘Great Masters of Cinema’, no doubt on that. He was an obsessive about his work, each film he directed was a masterpiece, no matter the subject or genre, they all ended being perfect. As one painter ones said “Every time I paint something in the canvas, i’m risking my life”, Stanley was risking his life in each take he shot and that’s the reason why all of his films were perfect. He had a gift and worked very hard to demonstrate it, he had no choice. I love the people who take life in a such profound and serious way. Probably Wong Kar Wai or Miyasaki are two film-makers alive who i consider may be doing something similar in that sense…
To all who love Lynch’s films and still didn’t read CATCHING THE BIG FISH,
I highly recommend it.
It’s a great journey into his movies and also about TM (Trascendental Meditation),
a practice he has been doing for the last 30 years which helped him change the way he sees life,
improving his vision in a much more profound way.
You should get Godard’s Le Mépris and watch the interview Jean-Luc did to Fritz Lang.
Two masters of cinema, in one room, speaking for a while…
simply amazing!!!!!!!!!

The Best books that haven't been made into films about 3 years ago
“On The Road” will be directed by Walter Salles, who I believe is a very talented film-maker.

HUNGER.
This is a great work from a first time director, who already is a very well known and established artist.
