reviewed Catching the Big Fish by David Lynch

for Lynch fans

A short and airy book. Short thoughts and short stories on filmmaking are flooded over by the beating drum of “everyone should do transcendental meditation”. Mildly interesting as a quick read if you've watched at least a few of Lynch's films, and admirable for its goal of ultimately promoting human creativity, happiness, and (unironically) world peace, but probably not that insightful for general public.
