Cannes Honors David Lynch in ‘Emotional’ Tribute With Visionary’s Son in Attendance

Cannes Film Festival honored the late director David Lynch ahead of the 'Welcome to Lynchland' documentary. His son Riley Lynch was in attendance.

“It’s a very emotional time.” Directed by Stéphane Ghe, Welcome to Lynchland was completed prior to Lynch’s death in January from cardiac arrest due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. “With an unwavering commitment to his creative vision and freedom, David Lynch, an artist fascinated by the most deviant depths of the human soul, has composed his oeuvre like a riddle to decipher, on the cusp between dreams and reality,” a synopsis of Welcome to Lynchland reads. “In revisiting both the filmmaker’s life and his work, this documentary will probe his creative process and plumb the hidden meaning of an implacably consistent filmography.”
