Bless Entertainment Weekly for posting the first episode of David Lynch's 131 part Interview Project. A simple yet intimate look at a cancer survivor as he lays bar his soul discussing his mother and the New York Times crossword. It is captured no nonsense; sweet and to the point. The brief segment captures part of the soul of the man by merely looking at his face and body language. The full series starts June 1st.
Commissioned by Lynch, and compiled by a team of filmmakers who criss-crossed the states gathering dozens of personal histories, the series -- to be premiered every three days throughout the year until next June -- is available only at interviewproject.davidlynch.com
Also, this intrigued me to see if something like this has been done before. Looks like Errol Morris did the exact same thing with his series: First Person. I'm definitely interested in checking that out.
I like it.
It's got a real mellow tone to it. I like more than anything that it breaks conventions and keeps the camera on him for most of the interview.
I hate it when they pepper stuff with cutaways.
I'm a big Lynch fan, so sadly objectivity goes out the window for me, but I really did enjoy it.
