00:00Robby Mueller, this is David Lynch calling from Los Angeles.
00:09Hello, Robby Mueller's machine. This is Jim Jarmusch calling. Hello.
00:17There's a very playful spirit to Robby, a very exciting spirit of finding things, of thinking on your feet.
00:26He had this unique way of seeing the world. This was not a Hollywood eye.
00:31That sense of presence and being in the moment, how was he free enough to capture that moment?
00:38Robby was looking, looking, looking. Just looking at your actors, what they do.
00:44Don't hit me!
00:45When we were ready to light, he said, let's make light. And to me it was like, okay, let's make love.
00:50So it was his love of light in camera that motivated him.
00:54We don't see the performance, we don't see the technique. It seems simple.
01:01But to achieve simplicity, we need a lot of work.
01:05I think I was spoiled by Robby and that said that he didn't put technique on top of everything.
01:11Yes, so the truth. His lens, his camera, the film was the truth.
01:15How can I get as close as I can to a truth?
01:17The truth was the kind of life you have in the film.
01:27The Bohemian life I liked very much.
01:30Alles werd gefilmd. Elke situatie tot vervelendst toe.
01:39Hij deed het gewoon en het hoorde bij hem.
01:47We had shot for a whole year.
01:49We went through four continents and through ten countries.
01:51It was a burden on our friendship and it took us years to overcome it and to become the friends again that we were before this movie.
02:01We used to say working on films was kind of like running away to join the circus because you then were on a trip for the rest of your life basically.
02:11Don't do it.
