Summary

David Lynch erupted on to the cinema landscape with Eraserhead, establishing himself as one of the most original, imaginative and truly personal directors at work in contemporary cinema. He is a surrealist in the tradition of the great Spanish flm-maker, Luis Bunuel. Over the course of a career which includes films like Blue Velvet, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway and the tv series Twin Peaks, David Lynch has remained true to a vision of the innocent lost indarkness and confusion. No one sees the world quite like David Lynch and, having once seen his flms, the world will never seem the same again. In this volume, David Lynch speaks openly not only about his movies, but also about the full range of his many activities: a life-long committment to painting; his continuing work inphotography; his extensive work in television; and the musical collaborations with Julee Cruise and Angelo Badalamenti.
