As a cinephile and a fan of Lynch's work, this part-biography part-memoir is truly awe-inspiring. Not only does it over the nuts and bolts expected from a retrospective (everything from Lynch's first love to his decision to make Twin Peaks: The Return are covered here), but the sections Lynch writes offer an emotional resonance that is not common in these types of books. But, on some level, I can't imagine this book being written any other way. This is Lynch, after all. He's not just going to run over the hits of his career and call it a day. With that truth comes some repetitive discussions (be prepared to hear about how much Lynch loves transcendental meditation, for example), but overall it's a fascinating insight into a notoriously elusive artist. We listened to the audiobook... what a goofy yet delightful mess. I found it interesting learning about the context of David's life when he was a boy and some of the smaller projects he's done that we'll now have to dig a bit to find and check out. The book does drag often at parts though and David's sections are just a rambling, jumbly mess--but still, you listen--because David Lynch is just that kind of guy. As the book mentions, no one really stays neutral on the subject of Lynch you either love him or you hate him, there's no in between. Room To Dream by David Lynch & Kristine McKenna 2018 Canongate Books 3.9 / 5.0 I have been a fan of David Lynch for a long time, his film, ´Blue Velvet´, is among my favorites and, ´Twin Peaks´, one of my favorite series. This memoir takes a peek into his life and how it influenced his work. There is plenty of detail and some juicy quotes and anecdotal memories, but it gets a bit repetitive at times. There is about 100 interviews and lots of B&W photos. McKenna writes about events and people in his life, and David writes one about the same topics. It is entertaining and interesting reading. We go through his 4 marriages, 35 movie credits, 23 art exhibits and 8 albums. We learn how his childhood fears inspired many of the scenes in his movies, and about his fascination with body parts, blood, bones. When his friend Raffaella De Laurentiis had a hysterectomy, David asked if he could have her uterus. It did not bother or outrage Rafaella....she knew, that´s just David. Finding Transcendental Meditation changed his life and helped him deal with anger issues and anxiety. I recommend this, it is well written and fun ti read but too much repetition..... geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
"The extraordinary, highly anticipated memoir from visionary filmmaker David Lynch In this memoir, David Lynch, co-creator of Twin Peaks and writer and director of groundbreaking films like Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, opens up about a lifetime of extraordinary creativity, the friendships he has made along the way and the struggles he has faced--sometimes successful, sometimes not--to bring his projects to fruition. Part-memoir, part-biography, Room to Dream interweaves Lynch's own reflections on his life with the story of those times, as told by Kristine McKenna, drawing from extensive and explosive interviews with ninety of Lynch's friends, family members, actors, agents, musicians, and collaborators. Lynch responds to each recollection and reveals the inner story of the life behind the art"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

And I said, “Well, I’ve got a story called Ronnie Rocket.”
And he said, “What’s it about?”
I said, “It’s about a guy who’s three feet tall, has a red pompadour, and runs on alternating current electricity.”
And the guy asked me to leave his office. ( )
