Cannes Director Thierry Fremaux Remembers David Lynch, Who Said, ‘When Cinema Dies, France Will Be the Last Country Where It Will Breathe’
Cannes director Thierry Fremaux talked to Variety about his relationship with David Lynch, who showed "Mulholland Drive" at the festival.
When Lynch presented his follow-up to the groundbreaking TV series “Twin Peaks,” he brought the first two episodes of “Twin Peaks: The Return” Cannes, which made an exception by showing the episodes as part of the official selection, traditionally confined to movies. Prior to Fremaux’s tenure, Lynch won Cannes’ Palme d’Or with “Wild at Heart,” then had “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” and “The Straight Story” in the official selection. I was always close to David Lynch because on my first year as artistic director in 2001, I programmed “Mulholland Drive” and it’s such an indelible memory.
