David Lynch: This is the director
David Lynch has passed away. A sentence that seems to defy the very logic of the world he created – a world where the boundaries between dreams and reality are permeable, where time contracts and expands, where voices echo from beyond the red curtain. We’ve tried to put together a collage of memories about the filmmaker who taught us to see light and darkness differently. Just as the phrase “This is the girl” from Mulholland Drive became a reference in film culture, we chose to explore the many facets of David Lynch alongside his status as a director. “This is the director”: Lynch the painter, Lynch the weatherman, Lynch the musician. Let us explore not only his iconic images but also the small moments that defined his sensibility and humour. Because, as he showed us in his films, death isn’t necessarily an end – and somewhere, his voice still echoes, saying: “Everyone, have a great day!”
