This documentary explores every facet of this job of complex and exciting sound which David Lynch leads since Eraserhead, his first film and matrix work. Picture lesson of this trip, they cross three points of view: that of the very film-maker, that of his closest collaborator in this domain, the compositor Angelo Badalamenti, and that of an acknowledged critic and specialist of sound in the cinema in general and David Lynch particularly, Michel Chion.
