The LAMBs in the Director's Chair #17

The LAMBs in the Director's ChairStarring... David Lynch
The focal point of the installment will be a stepping stone from the usual mainstream that a lot of movie theater attendees are adjusted to these days. Long time film director David Lynch has been known for distributing material with a very weird perspective on life, but he is a wiz at doing it so well that it invokes an emotional response every time. Would that not be the intention of art and filmmaking: an emotional and/or intellectual response to its material? In addition, he also knows how to tweak the soundtrack for the film in such a way that could blow the woofers right of the speaker cabinets (that would be a positive thing in this instance) in order to design a particular mood setting for the story of the film.

  1. Nice round-up a little disappointing with no full reviews on The Straight Story.

    Here are a couple of suggestions for new directors chairs:

    Renny Harlin
    Jon Amiel
    Jan De Bont

  2. Thanks for adding mine. As a Lynch fan I can't wait to read some of the other reviews.

    @Joel Burman: I'll be reviewing "The Straight Story" very soon! (I plan to review 5-6 of Lynch's films over the next few weeks)
