David Lynch
David Keith Lynch is an American filmmaker, visual artist, musician and actor. He has received critical acclaim for his films, which are often distinguished by their surrealist, dreamlike qualities. Lynch has received numerous accolades, including the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in 2006 and an Honorary Academy Award in 2019. In 2007, a panel of critics convened by The Guardian announced that "after all the discussion, no one could fault the conclusion that David Lynch is the most important film-maker of the current era."
Lynch studied painting before he began making short films in the late 1960s. His first feature-length film was the independent surrealist film Eraserhead, which saw success as a midnight movie. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Director for the biographical drama The Elephant Man and the mystery films Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive. He directed the romantic crime drama Wild at Heart, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival. He also directed the space opera adaptation Dune, the surrealist neo-noir Lost Highway, the biographical drama The Straight Story, and the experimental film Inland Empire.
