NEW YORK: Losing the powerful film director David Lynch is so awful that it is hard to know what to say and how best to say it. Though he’d stepped away from feature film directing after Inland Empire (2006) and left as his long-form swan song the stunning return of the television show Twin Peaks (2017), as long as he lived there was always hope for one final Lynch movie. And just knowing he was there — alive and odd and chipper and liable to release at any moment some mad short film or weather report or cartoon featuring The Angriest Dog in the World — was cheering. If there was room in the world for David Lynch to be successful and widely admired, maybe there’d be room in the world for your peculiar self as well?
