David Lynchs Dumbland / Does That Hurt You?
 
Deutschland 2003 | Min
 

That the short film seemed feature-length in the end is due neither to the suggestiveness of the interview nor to any of the exquisite details or the cleverly dosed score. The fun of it is their connection, the sophisticated space that allows for approximation and mutual respect. And the way David Lynch acts within this space: the "what's-happening" dramaturgy created via the back view was not arranged but was what he brought as a "present" (A. Jurek). His mystic appeal is broken by a privacy that makes you laugh in disbelieve./// spex - magazine for pop-culture / Doris Achelwilm ///

An "exceptional but convincing and experimentally slightly estranged form of interview"/// HAZ - Newspaper Hannover Ernst Corinth ///

Subtly "Does that hurt you?" develops from a sometimes linguistically confused and slightly ludicrous dialogue to a lynchian commitment to film-making and arts, which is exceptional in its minimalism and captivative clarity./// UnderDOK Leipzig - festival Sylvia Glauche ///
