Search: Starring David Lynch

Tempting though it might be to think, this is not a mockumentary. Brand is serious.

We get to watch Lynch work on a sculpture, sit and smoke, or interact with his toddler daughter Lula in the present. Family photos and home movies light up the past.

Outrageously funny, but also manic, tense, irritant, disturbing and depressing.

These are glimpses deep into the innermost gears and cogs of Lynch's ideas-machine, even if their very imperfection brings with it a certain disappointment.

The nature of Harry Dean Stanton means that no documentary is ever going to get underneath his skin, yet director Sophie Huber does manage to crack his defensive wall on occasion.

Though parts of the film are repetitive and others don’t quite knit together, there are some real gems hidden in there.

Deadpan absurdity, everyday madness and enlightenment through routine merge in an attempt to answer the big questions of life.

Displays an artistry all of its own, quite unlike the thrown-together 'qualities' of your typical behind-the-scenes extra.

Samuels' film both contextualises and celebrates these strange slices of subversive counter-culture.
