David Lynch, Celebrated Director of Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet, Passes Away at 78

Renowned filmmaker and writer David Lynch, known for revolutionizing American cinema with his dark, surrealistic style in films such as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, and redefining television with Twin Peaks, has passed away at the age of 78.

Lynch’s works, including the Twin Peaks series and films like Blue Velvet, Lost Highway, and Mulholland Drive, masterfully blended elements of horror, film noir, mystery, and European surrealism. His storytelling, reminiscent of Spanish filmmaker Luis Buñuel, unfolded with an enigmatic and impenetrable logic all his own.
