David Lynch, the renowned movie director known for creating works such as Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and Twin Peaks on TV, passed away at the age of 78, it was announced by his family.
The news was officially announced on Lynch’s Facebook post by his relatives, who posted a picture of Lynch together with the announcement.
With profound sadness, we, his family, are sharing the news of David Lynch’s demise – both as a man and an artist. At this moment, we kindly ask for some solitude. A void has been left in the world without him here. However, he would encourage us to ‘focus on the donut rather than the hole.’ Today, let’s cherish the beauty around us – the golden sunshine and the vast blue sky.
Initially, Lynch started his artistic journey by delving into painting, later transitioning to the realm of cinema in the late 1960s. His first film, Eraserhead released in 1977, gained recognition as a midnight movie and catapulted him into fame as a filmmaker. Following this, he directed The Elephant Man in 1980, which garnered an Academy Award nomination, and then took on the challenging task of adapting Dune in 1984, a project that became notorious.
1986 saw David Lynch taking the helm for one of his most iconic productions – the neo-noir enigma “Blue Velvet”. This captivating mystery thriller featured Kyle MacLachlan, who later became a frequent collaborator with Lynch, as well as Isabella Rossellini, Dennis Hopper, and Laura Dern (a future associate of his). Over time, this film developed a cult following and is now frequently hailed as one of the greatest movies ever made.
In 1990, David Lynch unveiled arguably his most renowned work – the television series Twin Peaks, a captivating blend of surreal mystery and drama that graced ABC for two seasons. Two years later, he directed the prequel film “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me”. In 2017, over two decades after his initial departure, Lynch revisited Twin Peaks with a critically praised third season of the show.
After Twin Peaks, David Lynch continued his directorial journey with the 1997 release Lost Highway, followed by Mulholland Drive in 2001 – a film that combined surrealism and neo-noir elements, receiving widespread acclaim. Justin Theroux, Naomi Watts, and Laura Harring starred in this intriguing mystery. Lynch’s most recent work was the 2006 film Inland Empire.
2019 saw Lynch receiving an Honorary Academy Award, a testament to the numerous other honors he’d garnered over his lifetime. Among these recognitions was the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2006. Known as one of cinema’s most impactful figures, Lynch also gained significant popularity online, thanks to his humorous weather reports on radio and social media platforms, which he shared for years.
ComingSoon extends its condolences to Lynch’s family and friends at this time.
