## Description

A rare glimpse into the mind of one of cinema s most enigmatic visionaries, David Lynch: The Art Life offers an absorbing portrait of the artist, as well as an intimate encounter with the man himself. From the privacy of his home and painting studio in the Hollywood Hills, a candid Lynch conjures people and places from his past, from his boyhood in Idaho and Virginia to his experiences at art school in Boston and Philadelphia to the beginnings of his filmmaking career in Los Angeles in stories that unfold like scenes from his movies. This remarkable documentary by directors Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes, and Olivia Neergaard-Holm reveals the story behind Lynch s early years as a painter and director drawn to the phantasmagoric, while also illuminating his enduring commitment to what he calls the 'the art life': 'You drink coffee, you smoke cigarettes, and you paint, and that s it.' DVD SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES- High-definition digital transfer- New interview with codirector Jon Nguyen - PLUS: A new essay by critic Dennis Lim

Review: A small look into the world of Lynch - Great documentary about a great artist & storyteller. Lynch is fairly guarded about some elements of his private life as most celebrities are. This documentary gives you a look at the man himself, in his own words, & his work. He tells stories about his life from childhood up to his early films all the while, we get to see him paint & interact with his youngest child. This is a man that takes joy in the simple pleasures of life. When all is said and done he remains somewhat of a mystery much like his films. That isn't a bad thing either.
Review: Good, too short - First, you have to be a David Lynch fan to get anything out of this. It’s mostly David talking about his life, with some minimal supportive visuals. One thing that always impressed me is how the body of his work contrasted so dramatically with the man’s plainspokenness. I wish there would have been a ‘part II’, because this monologue takes us from David’s (happy) childhood up to his ‘struggling artist’ years, and ends at the life events that allowed him to make Eraserhead. Too Short. 😊

I've been amassing his whole catalog on Criterion Editions whenever possible but finding his shorts and other works is just amazing!
