David Lynch

Also known as Judas Booth

David Keith Lynch fue un cineasta y artista estadounidense. Es ampliamente considerado como uno de los cineastas más grandes e influyentes en la historia del cine, con sus películas a menudo caracterizadas por una sensibilidad surrealista distintiva que dio origen al adjetivo "Lynchian". A menudo se le reconoce por haber llevado el surrealismo y el experimentalismo a los medios mainstream a finales del siglo XX. En una carrera que abarcó más de cinco décadas, recibió numerosos reconocimientos, entre ellos un Academy Honorary Award, una Palma de Oro y el Premio al Mejor Director en el Festival de Cine de Cannes, el León de Oro por Logros de Toda una Vida en el Festival de Cine de Venecia, un Independent Spirit Award, un Saturn Award, dos César Awards, y un (póstumo) Laurel Award for Screenwriting Achievement, además de nominaciones a cuatro Academy Awards, dos British Academy Film Awards, cuatro Golden Globe Awards y nueve Primetime Emmy Awards.

Notable quotes

“All the movies are about strange worlds that you can't go into unless you build them and film them. That's what's so important about film to me. I just like going into strange worlds.”
— As quoted in The Making of Dune (1984) by Ed Naha, p. 213
“The beginning dictates the direction and you never know where you're going to go ... the mood is what you're looking for, and somehow we always find it.”
— As quoted in Pretty as a Picture : The Art of David Lynch (1997)
“My cow is not pretty, but it's pretty to me.”
— About his contribution to New York 2000, "Eat My Fear", which was pulled after 2 hours, quoted in The New Yorker, Volume 76, p. 62
“It makes me uncomfortable to talk about meanings and things. It is better not to know so much about what things mean. Because the meaning, it's a very personal thing and the meaning for me is different than the meaning for someone else.”
— As quoted in My Love Affair with David Lynch and Peachy Like Nietzsche: Dark Clown Porn Snuff for Terrorists and Gorefiends (2005) by Jason Rogers, p. 7
