Barry Gifford
'Thorough and fair-minded ... Hughes' book has to be considered essential for anyone interested in Lynch's work'
Book Description
'The Complete Lynch' is the only comprehensive study of the work of this cult director, which ranges from 1967's 'Six Figures Getting Sick', to 'The Straight Story' and 'Mulholland Drive'. Separate entries are devoted to the other media in which Lynch has excelled, and to the many unrealised film, television, and even radio projects. Lynch's style and recurring themes are analysed, as are the critics' divided responses to many of his films, in this exhaustive and revealing guide to one of the masters of modern film-making.
From the Publisher
After working with David on his previous work for the series, The Complete Kubrick, we knew we were on to a winner for this book. Not only is David Lynch a master of modern film-making but David Hughes is well-qualified to write this 'complete' book. The book covers all Lynch's films including Mulholland Drive, TV and other projects, as well as the unrealised ventures such as Revenge of the Jedi (later directed by Richard Marquand as Return of the Jedi). It also includes a foreword by Barry Gifford - the novelist behind Wild at Heart and co-writer with Lynch of the screenplay for Lost Highway - and excerpts from a new interview David Hughes carried out with David Lynch himself. The Complete Lynch is the only comprehensive study of this great director.
