Films et réalisateurs préférés de David Lynch

Annotation :

“If I have to choose films that represent, for me, examples of perfect film making, I think I could narrow it down to four.

The first would be 8 1/2, for the way Federico Fellini manages to accomplish with film what mostly abstract painters do – namely, to communicate an emotion without ever saying or showing anything in a direct manner, without ever explaining anything, just by a sort of sheer magic."

Annotation :

Dans le Top 5 donné à l'American Film Institute.

"I picked these particular films because they are the ones that have inspired me most. I think each is a masterpiece. If people have already seen them, they are certainly worth being seen again. And if people haven’t seen them, here is an opportunity to see what I consider cinema at its best."

"For similar reasons, I would also show Sunset Boulevard. Even though Billy Wilder’s style is very different from Fellini’s, he manages to accomplish pretty much the same abstract atmosphere, less by magic than through all sorts of stylistic and technical tricks. The Hollywood he describes in the film probably never existed, but he makes us believe it did, and he immerses us in it, like a dream."

Il y a un Gordon Cole dans le film, nom que porte le personnage joué par Lynch dans Twin Peaks la série.
Un plan et une réplique seraient repris dans Inland Empire (merci à OlivierBottin)

Lynch parle des films de Tati : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bW0bZBXJFZU

Annotation :

"After that, I would show Monsieur Hulot’s Holiday for the amazing point of view that Jacques Tati casts at society through it. When you watch his films, you realise how much he know about – and loved – human nature, and it can only be an inspiration to do the same."

Annotation :

A l'occasion de la ressortie du film au Festival de Cannes 2002, Lynch révéla qu'il faisait un clin d'oeil à un film de Tati dans chacune de ses œuvres. Il y a par exemple le gag du tuyau sans fin de Mon Oncle repris en fond d'une scène de Sailor et Lula et de manière détournée dans Mulholland Drive.

"And finally, I would show Rear Window, for the brilliant way in which Alfred Hitchcock manages to create – or rather, re-create – a whole world with in confined parameters. James Stewart never leaves his wheelchair during the film, and yet, through his point of view, we follow a very complex murder scheme. In the film , Hitchcock manages to take something huge and condense it into something really small. And he achieves that through a complete control of film making technique."

Annotation :

Dans la série Twin Peaks, Sheryl Lee joue deux personnages, comme Kim Novak dans Vertigo, Laura Palmer, et sa cousine qui s'appelle Madeleine Ferguson. Madeleine est le prénom du personnage de Kim Novak et Ferguson le nom du personnage de James Stewart.
