Farewall of a genius


Film-maker who specialised in surreal, noir style mysteries made a string of influential, critically acclaimed works including Wild at Heart and Dune, The Elephant Man  and Blue Velvet.

L
Lynch ploughed a highly idiosyncratic furrow in American cinema: from his beginnings as an art student making experimental short films, to the cult success of his surreal first feature Eraserhead, and on to a string of award-winning films including Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart and Mulholland Drive, as well as the landmark TV show Twin Peaks. He received three best director Oscar nominations , and was given an honorary lifetime achievement Oscar in 2019; he won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes film festival in 1990.
