Robocop, ITV4, 21:00 Monday 1 February
The original and still the best, Paul Verhoeven’s sparkling satire dressed up as a science fiction actioner is brought to life by Peter Weller’s sensitive performance in the lead. Shot to death at work, he’s resurrected as a cyborg and touted as the future of law enforcement, but when his memories of family life and loyalty to his partner mean he refuses to play along with a system he knows to be corrupt, another, meaner robot is brought into play. A wealth of talent and perfect balance between tragedy and comedy have made this a classic. Read our full review.

“Portrait Of The Artist As A Young And Old Man”
By Raymond Benson
David Lynch is today’s foremost surrealist. In many ways, he has taken up the mantle begun by those artists of the 1920s who attempted to present in tangible, visual forms the juxtapositions, bizarre logic, and beauty/horror of dreams. Salvador Dalí, Luis Buñuel, Man Ray, Germaine Dulac, René Magritte—to name a few.
Most people know Lynch from his films, but as this thoughtful and insightful documentary reveals, he is and has always been primarily a painter. Lynch began his career in the “art life” studying and practicing fine art… and he sort of fell into filmmaking along the way. Even today, despite his recent foray back into television with Twin Peaks—The Return on Showtime, Lynch spends most of his time in his home studio drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes, and painting.

A documentary on the most unpredictable of film-makers is as beautifully baffling as its subject, while a study of Venezuelan society has supernatural overtones
In case the recent completion – I hesitate to say “resolution” – of Twin Peaks has left a hole in your life the approximate shape and size of David Lynch’s soft-serve quiff, the DVD release of David Lynch: The Art Life (Thunderbird, 15) could not have been more cannily timed. Ostensibly a documentary about the aberrant auteur’s creative process, Jon Nguyen’s film is nothing so prosaic. Instead, it’s a wayward, stream-of-consciousness tour of a mind that knows no process, as related and embellished by the man himself, drolly revelling in formative anecdotes and dream fragments. Lynch’s ventures into fine art, as opposed to film, are the springboard for these musings, but it’s all of a piece, betraying the same fascinating, febrile imagination; it...

Twin Peaks: The Return recently ended its 18 hour run on Showtime and with that it can be said that the 41 year old cable channel finally made good on its name. Directed by David Lynch and co-written with Mark Frost, The Return see-sawed from soaring fly-overs of Manhattan and Vegas to suffocating dungeons infested with oily-skinned ghosts. It was pictorial storytelling on a grand scale, a work of epic surrealism that challenged the capabilities of any ordinary television screen.
If Lynch and Frost viewed the 1990 incarnation of Twin Peaks as a relatively benign first draft populated by lovable eccentrics, Twin Peaks: The Return could be seen as a take-no-prisoners revision,...

“You have to sometimes make a huge mess and big mistakes to find the thing you are looking for,” an at ease David Lynch imparts while painting and smoking in a sun soaked yard as his young daughter swirls about before him. In David Lynch: The Art Life, the genius artist/director reflects on his early years, recalling childhood memories, troubled youth and identity crisis’.
Combined with insights from the man himself, Director Jon Nguyen captures petite ticks, character traits and scenes which shed light onto Lynch as painter/film-maker and old/young man. New filmed footage of Lynch tearing up a croissant and staring curiously at a stick as though seeking inspiration, is both endearing, wry and enlightening, alongside his stories of infancy (playing war) and the living “hell” of adolescence due to routine intestinal spasms and living with a conflicting personality.

With a seemingly endless amount of streaming options — not only the titles at our disposal, but services themselves — we’ve taken it upon ourselves to highlight the titles that have recently hit platforms. Every week, one will be able to see the cream of the crop (or perhaps some simply interesting picks) of streaming titles (new and old) across platforms such as Netflix, iTunes, Amazon, and more (note: U.S. only). Check out our rundown for this week’s selections below.
David Lynch: The Art Life (Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes, and Olivia Neergaard-Holm)
Before David Lynch was a filmmaker, he was a struggling painter, whose lifeblood was to “drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, and paint.” That’s what he dubbed “the art life,” and what an image – as featured in the many contemporary photos seen in this new documentary – it is, the bequiffed 20-something Lynch sitting back in his Philadelphia studio,...

While the vast majority of our favorite films of last year have been treated with Blu-ray releases, one title near the top of the list we’ve been waiting the longest for is Kelly Reichardt‘s Certain Women. It looks like it’s been worth the wait as The Criterion Collection have unveiled their September releases and it’s leading the pack (with special features also an interview with the director and Todd Haynes!).
Also getting a release in September, is Michael Haneke‘s Isabelle Huppert-led The Piano Teacher and the recent documentary David Lynch: The Art Life (arriving perfectly-timed to the end of the new Twin Peaks). There’s also Alfred Hitchcock‘s classic psychodrama Rebecca and the concert film Festival, featuring Bob Dylan, Joan Baez, Johnny Cash, and many more.
Check out the high-resolution cover art and full details on the releases below, with more on Criterion’s site.

Five new movies are joining the Criterion Collection in September, two of which were released in the last year: Kelly Reichardt’s spare, moving “Certain Women” and the documentary “David Lynch: The Art Life.” Also getting the Criterion treatment are Michael Haneke’s “The Piancho Teacher,” starring Isabelle Huppert; “Rebecca,” Alfred Hitchcock’s adaptation of the Daphne du Maurier novel and his first American production; and Murray Lerner’s documentary “Festival,” which features performances by Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash, among others.
It isn’t Criterion’s most exciting month, but there’s still much to look forward to. Details below, including Criterion’s own descriptions:

Twin Peaks Recap is a weekly column by Keith Uhlich covering David Lynch and Mark Frost's limited, 18-episode continuation of the Twin Peaks television series.What's an FBI Special Agent to do after being locked away for 25 years in unearthly purgatory? Episodes three and four of Mark Frost and David Lynch's revived Twin Peaks, which aired on Showtime this past Sunday in a two-hour block (aside from September's two-part finale, it's all single, hour-long episodes from hereon out), follow our besuited, Black Lodge-incarcerated hero Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) as he reintegrates into modern terrestrial society. So this is basically Peaks doing Rectify, just with a sterile death row replaced by an infernal hellscape out of Clive Barker. Or David Lynch, really. What's becoming more and more evident as the new Peaks progresses is that the series is, in large part, a repository for Lynch's subconscious, past and present.

While the recent 10 Cloverfield Lane and Room told stories of captivity with various hooks — science-fiction and the process of healing, respectively — Cate Shortland’s approach in her latest, harrowing drama Berlin Syndrome makes room for more nuance and depth. Locked in a Berlin apartment, there is little hope for our protagonist for nearly the entire runtime. And while some of the story’s turns can feel overtly manipulative,...

While David Lynch fans eagerly await the premiere of the new Twin Peaks on Sunday, a documentary that peers deep into the iconic director’s life is currently making its way around theaters across the U.S. After premiering last year in Venice to rave reviews, we caught David Lynch: The Art Life at the American Film Festival in Wroclaw, Poland toward the end of its festival circuit. The film will play local dates this summer before being sent out to the film’s thousand-plus Kickstarter backers who have been waiting on the documentary since its 2012 campaign.

It would seem there’s no need for another documentary about David Lynch, among the most well-documented filmmakers of this or any other era and subject of at least two previous films, Lynch and Lynch 2. Good news, then: David Lynch: The Art Life finds new ground in both story and form, alternating between his California workspace as he lovingly crafts any number of unclassifiable objects before our eyes and a series of archival materials — including, as far as I can tell, Lynch-shot material that’s never been publicly released — complemented by Lynch’s genteel exposition on his younger years.

It may have taken a handful of decades, but it appears as though director David Lynch is finally garnering the critical appreciation that he so rightly deserves. Be it the brilliant Dennis Lim-penned biography/critical meditation The Man From Another Place or the pending revival of his cult hit Twin Peaks television series, Lynch has gone from cult icon to something far more influential and genuinely important. As singular and esoteric a voice as film has seen since he began working in film, Lynch is also now the subject of a superlative biographical documentary.
Entitled David Lynch: The Art Life, the film comes to us from directors Jon Nguyen, Rick Barnes and Olivia Neergaard-Holm, and is a breathlessly intimate look at the filmmaker’s life from birth and childhood to his journey to Philadelphia and ultimately how he ended up getting behind the camera for what would become one of...

Welcome back to the Weekend Warrior, your weekly look at the new movies hitting theaters this weekend, as well as other cool events and things to check out.
Two Very Different Movies Look to Divide Up the Weekend Box Office Business
With Disney’s Beauty and the Beast continuing to dominate at the box office with $90 million this past weekend, and Saban’s Power Rangers (Lionsgate) also doing exceedingly well with $40 million in second place, you wouldn’t think anyone would try to release a movie that might get overshadowed by those two blockbusters.
That said, what’s interesting about this weekend is the fact there are two very different movies that are competing very heavily for second place with DreamWorks Animation’s latest animated family film, The Boss Baby (20th Century Fox), taking on the live action English remake of Ghost In The Shell (Paramount), starring Scarlett Johansson. In most cases,...

Continuing their relationship with David Lynch, Janus Films recently acquired David Lynch: The Art Life, a documentary about the artist’s early days and, in particular, relationship with painting. Directors Jon Nguyen, Olivia Neergaard-Holm, and Rick Barnes seemingly succeeded: our review out of last year’s London Film Festival called it a “wonderful” picture, and one fans can’t afford to miss.
Thankfully, its theatrical rollout kicks off next month, ahead of which there’s an intriguing trailer that gives some taste of its archival wealth and Lynch’s own narration. There should be plenty more of that to come: as we said in our review, “The way the film focuses on these intriguing snippets that left a mark on the director is this film’s greatest strength. There’s much to interest the Lynch fan here, but it also might be an unparalleled assessment of the artistic learning of a great American filmmaker.

Before David Lynch was a filmmaker, he was a struggling painter, whose lifeblood was to “drink coffee, smoke cigarettes, and paint.” That’s what he dubbed “the art life,” and what an image – as featured in the many contemporary photos seen in this new documentary – it is, the bequiffed 20-something Lynch sitting back in his Philadelphia studio, composing transgressive abstract artwork. Bookmarked by footage of Lynch working on his latest paintings in his Hollywood Hills penthouse, the wonderful new documentary David Lynch: The Art Life showcases the artistic developments of one of America’s most singular directors.
Lynch’s childhood was in not-so-different a setting of one of his trademark films. He moved around small-town America wherever the Us Department of Agriculture sent his father, a research scientist, growing up in rural Montana, or Spokane, Idaho (near the setting of Twin Peaks), before moving to Virginia near DC. He...

Think of Jon Nguyen’s “David Lynch: The Art Life” as “The David Lynch Origin Story.” The documentary seeks to penetrate the sometimes impenetrable work of director David Lynch by chronicling his path towards filmmaking, and through it all, the famed director — with his crashing-wave of a haircut and ever-present cigarette — makes for an endearing, […]

"I can imagine a whole world that doesn't exist. I had tremendous freedom..." Another documentary about a filmmaker. The first trailer has arrived online for the film David Lynch: The Art Life, a documentary about the life and work of American director David Lynch. The doc is premiering at the Venice Film Fest this month, and will also play at the London Film Fest next. Lynch is beloved among critics for his films including Eraserhead, Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, Mulholland Dr. and Inland Empire. This seems like an intriguing doc that looks at all of the various influences on Lynch that have inspired his work. This is a very eerie trailer, but it's probably perfect for fans of Lynch's films who want to learn more about his life. Dive in.

David Lynch: The Art Life, a documentary about the acclaimed director's childhood up through his early films, is among the movies debuting this weekend at the Venice Film Festival. Ahead of its premiere, the film has unfurled its first trailer, packed with striking archival footage, Lynch's own paintings and the director's trademark lilt serving as narrator.
"I think every time you do something, sometimes the past can conjure those ideas," Lynch says in the trailer. "In those days, my world was no bigger than a couple of blocks. Huge...

Even as one who loves his work and the traffic it brings this site, I can readily admit that we probably have just about enough in the way of David Lynch-related explorations — until Twin Peaks premieres next year, that is, and in spite of reasonable anticipation for David Lynch: The Art Life, a new look-behind-the-closed-door documentary that will premiere at the Venice Film Festival. A follow-up (of sorts) to 2007’s Lynch, it follows him “back to his formative years in small-town Montana and the harder streets of Philadelphia,” featuring, as you can see in both a new trailer and clip, plenty of archival materials (which this obsessive’s never seen!), sit-downs, and trips into the man’s workshop, among other things.
Lynch, as you probably well know, is a funny figure all his own, as was evidenced in a batch of footage that was captured on the set of Inland Empire.

Jon Nguyen’s intimate look at American original (and one of Hollywood’s last true auteurs), the incomparable David Lynch, promises to take its audience inside Lynch’s world in never-before-seen fashion.
Despite its title, Nguyen’s new documentary, “David Lynch: The Art Life,” isn’t solely focused on Lynch’s artistic pursuits — both behind the camera and in front of the canvas — it also explores Lynch’s early life and his various motivations for his various activities, all bundled up in his intense need to credit.
