Dennis Lim

Right? And I feel like, yeah, he kind of exploded this other edge of it to be like, but it could also be this guy's.

yeah and like um i think there is a q a after their new york film festival premiere and dennis lim actually said something in like just like two sentences of like i think this movie will be taught

for i think so too in

documentaries he's like because all the things all the um questions people have about documentary are all raised in a narrative in this one movie

I think I have watched it, as you said, but it's been years ago.

The discontented new 4K digital restoration of the unrated international version supervised by director of photography, Frederick Elms, a new intro by film programmer and critic, Dennis Lim, archival documentaries, deleted scenes, outtakes.

Readings from Lynch's book Room to Dream that he co-authored with critic Christine McKenna.

Segments from a 1988 episode of Cinema de Notre-Dame featuring the director.

Even talking to you like this is really cool.

No, actually, that does make me think, I don't know if you've read Dennis Lim's book, The Man from Another Place.

It's the only time I ever heard Dave Lynch say this, but he was saying how Dale Cooper is one of those characters that can still be interesting outside the town of Twin Peaks.

He said this thing after the film that he didn't really, like, learn that much from the film.

He had known about a lot of these things prior, and he had read about them in The Guardian, but seeing people describe them and seeing-

And even if you're not necessarily, like, you don't love everything about Nathan Fielder's project, the, the way he goes about his documentaries, I think there's still just so many ethical questions you can pull out of this and, and discuss.

You know, even Dennis Lim, the, uh, programmer for the New York Film Festival, was saying during the Q&A after the movie that he thinks this is a movie that people should show in documentary film classes just because it raises-

Yeah

... and answers so many questions about, like, how can you put a s- film together, and what's right, and what's a violation? And, um, I think-

That doesn't mean it hasn't had big studio movies over the years.

Of course, it has, but, um, especially, you know, Dennis Lim at the helm of it as a, you know, chief curator, he's just such an elegant, thoughtful person.

You know, introducing all the screenings.

Right.
