Blood
The film and television community is mourning the loss of a true innovator whose work will continue to inspire audiences for generations to come.
David Lynch was more than a director. He was arguably the most creative and brave writer and filmmaker ever.
David Lynch would have turned 79 in 4 days.
Huge loss for creative/film community. He spent 5 yrs making the iconic cult film eraserhead. Then of all people mel brooks hired him to direct the haunting elephant man. His best in my opinion was mulholland dr. So bizarre & mysterious & completely up to your interpretation. Nobody made films like him. He also had a great cameo in fabelmans. What a legend, will never be another like him RIP
R.I.P David Lynch, he was a character and made Twin Peaks interesting to watch. So glad I got into that series back in 2022. Huge credit to the three series of Twin Peaks that he did!
A great and visionary artist. Eraserhead, wild at heart and Lost highway will always be three of my absolute favourite movies.
Anyone else think he died of sadness about the fires…. you can’t name another director with direct ties to the area that’s now scorched…..
