Krzysztof Kieślowski is the Anti-David Lynch

Lynch:
Surreal, confusing, phantasmagoric; willful concealment of meaning.

Kieslowski:
Concrete, real ethical issues; upfront with themes and meaning.

Was going to write this, but found it was already written

Feel free to read this take on Mullholland Drive. Several of these thoughts came to my mind this weekend when I was watching Contempt. The analogy probably deserves a bit more explication, but I'm very lazy...

Fire Walk With Me Documentary

One quick word - if you're going to make a documentary about the production of a David Lynch film, I would highly recommend that you make it as straight-forward as possible. Not only are you just going to look foolish juxtaposed with an actual film, but you're going to anger your audience. After enduring 30+ hours of heavy texture and un-meaning (not meaning-less), you don't want to go through a half hour of stupid cross-cuts between Kyle MacLachlan laughing and the guy who played Hawk explaining why his scene got cut. At least, I don't.

Anyway, I'm blogging less recently because my internet at home isn't working... in case you were wondering.
