In North Bend (location shoot home of Twin Peaks):

 

I think one of the (many) things that made his work so touching was that it lacked cynicism. There was an underlying earnestness at the heart of all of it.

I know plenty of people serve side-eye on stuff like this - because they can't believe the man who created Frank Booth and Killer Bob could make Merrick or Sandy's rapturous invocation of robins with anything other than a dirty smirk. I'd argue that's a bad mistake. Lynch meant all of it.

Thanks again @Vee . I notice so many reports about his death just talk about how weird and disturbing his work was but never talk about the heartfelt moments. He did veer more toward the weirder and colder elements in Inland Empire or Lost Highway, but his work still had a great deal of warmth in other projects. It pops up repeatedly in The Return.

The outpouring of love from so many who worked for him is very touching, but the gratitude from Naomi Watts and Kyle over his discovery over them is what stays with me most. They clearly loved the man as much or more than anything he did as a director. Few directors have ever managed to have such strong, charismatic personalities, so clear in their work, yet their work also stands up in its own right. 

Still can't believe it's real. And it makes me think of how many disabled people are thrown to the wolves in times of mass climate change.

More tributes for Lynch:

 

Scorsese:

“I hear and read the word ‘visionary’ a lot these days—it’s become a kind of catch-all description, another piece of promotional language. But David Lynch really was a visionary—in fact, the word could have been invented to describe the man and the films, the series, the images and the sounds he left behind,” said Martin Scorsese in a statement shared with IndieWire. “He created forms that seemed like they were right on the edge of falling apart but somehow never did. He put images on the screen unlike anything that I or anybody else had ever seen—he made everything strange, uncanny, revelatory and new. And he was absolutely uncompromising, from start to finish. It’s a sad, sad day for moviemakers, movie lovers, and for the art of cinema. But ‘Eraserhead,’ ‘The Elephant Man,’ ‘Blue Velvet,’ ‘Wild at Heart,’ the two ‘Twin Peaks’ series and the film ‘Fire Walk with Me,’ ‘Lost Highway,’ ‘The Straight Story,’ ‘Mulholland Drive,’ ‘Inland Empire’… as the years and the decades go by, they will just keep growing and deepening. We were lucky to have had David Lynch.”

Nicolas Cage:

The star of David Lynch‘s Palme d’Or winning 1990 road trip bender, Wild at Heart, Nicolas Cage tells us that the late filmmaker who died today, “was a singular genius in cinema, one of the greatest artists of this or any time.”

“He was brave, brilliant, and a maverick with a joyful sense of humor,” Cage continues, “I never had more fun on a film set than working with David Lynch. He will always be solid gold.”

I saw that earlier this morning. Just sad.

Mulholland Drive & Dune are such favorites of mine.
