David Lynch : a retrospective

Nathan, Ian2023
Books
At once a pop culture icon, cult figure and film industry outsider, master filmmaker David Lynch and his work defy easy definition. Dredged from his subconscious mind, Lynch's work is primed to act on our own hidden desires and fears, combining heightened, contradictory emotions into something familiar but inscrutable. For over 45 years, Lynch's works have enthralled, mystified, and provoked viewers. What is arguably most remarkable about his career is that for a filmmaker so resolutely true to his own ideals and the tides of his imagination - the forces that have provided such distinctive work - he has remained so popular. This is also a portrait of an enchanting presence: eminently reasonable yet driven, boyishly shy yet a towering force on set, an interviewee of rare clarity who never gives the game away. Here is a biography of David Lynch.
