MODERATORS
Twin Peaks isn't a bad start, but it's co-created with Mark Frost who was a significant contributor as well as a few other writers and directors etc cause it was a TV show. So the first 2 seasons aren't fully Lynch, I say this mostly to give credit to other people but also yknow, it wasn't just his project. Fire Walk With Me and The Return were a bit more.
For movies I'd go with Eraserhead if you're down for some full arthouse or Blue Velvet for a more gentle introduction.
blue velvet is intense
Most of his stuff is. Blue Velvet is still fairly grounded at narratively straightforward. It's like a normal movie mostly. It's also kind of a dry run for Twin Peaks. Wild at Heart is lighter but hardly a great intro to Lynch. Intensity is hard to avoid
You have to accept intensity if you wanna get into Lynch.
YOU WANNA GO FOR A JOY RIDE!? 🤣🤣🤣
What kind of beer do you like?
PABST! BLUE! RIBBON!
Are you sure you wouldn't like a Heineken?
HEINEKEN?! FUCK THAT SHIT!
I meant surrealism-wise. Considering Lynch's filmography it's a gentle introduction. There is more gentle but they're bad introductions.
I figured, it was just a low hanging fruit 😂
