David Lynch Appreciation: A Visionary For All Time
An Appreciation of David Lynch who died today at age 78.
I never really got the chance to interview David Lynch, but I can vividly recall the one time I actually talked to him, something I recounted in my Deadline coverage of the American Film Institute’s celebration of its 50th anniversary of the AFI Conservatory at its fabled Greystone Mansion where it all began in 1969 and was housed there until 1981 when it moved. Seeing Mulholland Drive at its 10:30 pm premiere in Cannes in 2001 was another Lynchian memory and he wound up taking the Best Director prize at the fest that year for a movie he rightfully never chose to interpret or discuss its meaning(s). Lynch’s 1984 stab at Frank Herbert’s sci fi novel was an unmitaged disaster, one where he didn’t have final cut and much of his footage removed before it got released and became a box office and critical flop.
