Hiii as a lover of David lynch, which work of his do you think I should start with? I have always seen bits of his work like trailer on dvds back in the day or references etc. But I always somehow felt intimidated to watch? Anyway I feel a weird pull these days to finally jump into his work soooo would love to have some recs from you
oooh!! everyone will have a different response to this but if you’re totally unfamiliar and you find his work intimidating, i would would start with Twin Peaks. If you want to start with a film, I would say Blue Velvet or Mulholland Drive. Those are all quintessential Lynch, particularly if you’re drawn to his neo-noir style. I do love Eraserhead so if you wanna go sort of ~Medium Weird with it, you could try that but idk if I would start with it.
I’d also recommend the docu film about him, The Art Life, but personally I would watch at least one film / TP before I did that. The payoff will be better
Also not related to his films but check out his paintings! i have such a soft spot for them
