Dynamic:01 - The Best Of DavidLynch.com

David always said his movies were simply "moving paintings" as in they are extensions of how he perceives life to be at one particular instant. These shorts are all basically moving paintings. They are surreal imagery and very interesting. The movies can't really be called movies, they are more like art, except 'Lamp" which is just him making a lamp. If you like Lynch, and want to learn about him, laugh with him, and see how he sees the world, this is a DVD for you. If you are expecting something like 'The Grandmother', it's not here. Think art rather than cinema.

Intensely creative people, and Lynch is certainly one, explore many ideas, often a piece at a time, trying them out, trying them together, rearrranging, adding, removing, and just playing with them before starting on a serious piece of work. Artists' sketchbooks are filled with studies and partially worked ideas, and can be of great interest to students of their work. But for most of us, the ideas that went nowhere should remain there - nowhere. And, artists may create work with intense personal meaning - but meaning utterly opaque to anyone but themselves. So, I'm not sure how to interpret this collection: as a cinematographer's sketchbook, or as pieces with meaning only to Lynch. Either way, I find this collection self-indulgent and impenetrable. Even "impenetrable" need not be a bad thing, if an inner logic becomes visible, but just out of reach. I couldn't even find that here. Best wishes to all who enjoy this work. Sorry, but I'm not among your number. -- wiredweird

What you think of this collection of Lynch material from his Web site will depend on your expectations. If, like the first reviewer below, you come to it thinking this is a collection of short films, you are apt to be pretty disappointed. But if you understand that this is largely a collection of animated art pieces, you may enjoy this. Some of the pieces, such as "Industrial Soundscape," are basically paintings that move a bit and have accompanying soundtracks. Some, like "Boat" and (my favorite) "Darkened Room," basically ARE short films, but different -- a bit more minimalist -- than Lynch's previous shorts as collected in "The Short Films of David Lynch." Lynch personally introduces each piece, or you can watch them sans intros. And I have to point out to the reviewer below that Lynch having his own brand of coffee is hardly "selling out." In fact, at least part of the reason he's doing it is to help fund his filmmaking. In case you hadn't noticed, Lynch's films have never been what you'd call commercial (in fact, they seem to be getting less so with every passing movie), and financial backing for an avant-garde art film like "Inland Empire" isn't exactly easy to come by.

Great for David Lynch fans. Love his experiments and the way he thinks and shoots.

I should've known this was going to be bad when inside the DVD is an advertisement for David Lynch's own brand of coffee beans. Can we say sell-out!? I expected these short films to be awesome. Instead what we get are boring and dissapointing short films. The first film feels amateurish, the 3rd one has David making a lamp for about a half hour that is boring as hell. During the Q&A he repeats the customers questions immediately after hearing the questions and it makes him look stupid and mentally challenged. I expected a lot more out of these along the lines of the "Short Films of David Lynch" but this is by far the worst thing Lynch has put out on DVD. FYI- I am a huge David Lynch fan so it does not please me to give this a negative review. There are a lot of Lynch snobs who feel everything he puts out is gold and this is simply not the case. This dvd was a waste of my time and money and I would never watch it again, neither should you.

This is a nice disc to buy when you have everything else Lynch has done on DVD. The short video called NEIGHBOR BOY alone is worth buying the disc for. Funny stuff. I also loved watching David at work in LAMP. I was fascinated by it. BUG CRAWLS was also fascinating and I hope we get to see more of that strange world. It isn't the best Lynch has to offer but it is a nice addition to a Lynch collection and Amazon is selling it at a much better price than I paid for it in a retail store. I think it is certainly worth checking out if you find David Lynch interesting. If you liked DUMBLAND you will probably love this.

Quick and as advertised! A+ Would gladly by from again!

And now I intend to spend it.

※わたしはデビッドリンチ通ではありません。 見ていてなぜか笑ってしまいました。デビッドリンチって監督、ある意味すごいなって。 作品全体的に監督が思いついた事やこうしたらどうかな？撮ってみよう！みたいな実験的映像集です。 ・THE DARKENED ROOMはいつもの監督映画っぽい雰囲気のある短編。 ・BOATは詩に映像をつけたもの。 ・LAMPはホームビデオ。 ・OUT YONDER-NEIGHBOR BOYはコント。（笑えました。個人的には好きです。） ・INDUSTRIAL SOUDSCAPEはミュージックビデオ。 ・BUG CRAWLSは影絵。 ・INTERVALOMETER EXPERIMENTSはＮＨＫ教育番組みたいでした。

再生を始めて「あれ、どこかで見たような……？」と思ったら案の定！ 2009年に発売された デイヴィッド・リンチ・ワールド DVD-BOX【期間限定生産】 収録のDISCと全7話ともまったく同じ内容です。 それどころか『リンチ・ワールド』にはあった「メンバーズ・クエスチョン」(20分のリンチインタビュー)が削られた劣化版。 amazonの商品説明を見ても実物のパッケージを見ても「※こちらの商品は以前『デイヴィッド・リンチ・ワールド』に収録されていた〜」というような表記はなく 「lynch.comの短編作品を以前にどこか(＝影の薄い特典DISC)で観た」覚えのある方にとっては注意が必要な商品となっています。 繰り返しになりますが「別の短篇選集」ということはなく、まったくの同内容なので。 同時期に発売された 【Amazon.co.jp限定】 ツイン・ピークス ゴールド・ボックス セカンド・エディション [DVD ]もそうですが 紛らわしい売り方・商品名で、あたかも「別物」であるかのように装って以前のヴァージョンを買ったファンにもまた買わせようという姿勢には 明らかに問題を感じます。 デイヴィッド・リンチ作品は(限定BOX版が出たら迷わずそちらを買うような)マニアなコレクターも多く、パラマウントにとってはそうした層を釣って儲けられればそれで良いのでしょうが、これはさすがに。 商品仕様の紛らわしさと収録内容の劣化はもとより、もとは特典的な位置づけでしかなかった商品を2000円〜で売るということも含めて 今回は★１とさせていただきます。
