Sad news, RIP.

Not everyone’s cup of tea, but he was an innovator and a film visionary … Twin Peaks put him on the map. RIP

Blue Velvet is one of my all time favourites. RIP David

I loved his work--Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, Dune, Elephant Man, Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire...

 

He was a genius making unforgettable moving images and sounds.

 

What an inspiration.

Twin Peaks was fantastic but it didn't put him on the map. He was known among cinephiles for his debut, Eraserhead, but Elephant Man put him on the map in Hollywood. Being nominated for a couple of Oscars tends to do that. But was Blue Velvet where you really started to see him master the aesthetic that defined his career in projects such as Twin Peaks, Wild at Heart, Lost Highway and - to my mind - his masterpiece, Mulholland Dr.

 

One of the great and innovative filmmakers of my lifetime. He'll be missed.

 

RIP

When I say “on the map” I meant introduced to a mass audience. Not sure if Elephant Man did that as well as TP

It put him on the map with mainstream audiences.  His movies are renowned, but they aren't exactly all commercial hits.

 

I do remember the Twin Peaks clip they made for Monday Night Football, it was quite funny.
