David Lynch, Elusive Director of Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet Dies at 78
David Lynch, the uncompromising auteur who sent shockwaves in the film arena-changing landscape of American cinematic and television with his unconventional techniques for storytelling, died Tuesday morning at his Los Angeles home. He was 78 years old. With a particular knack for horror, Lynch spun unsettling, modern fables; through many such works came some of late 20th and early 21st century storytelling. Works like Blue Velvet, Mulholland Drive, and the groundbreaking work in the world of television that is Twin Peaks, will always be markers in the history of the medium.
