Without a doubt, David Lynch is my absolute favourite director. I was first introduced to him when I was about 15 and my dad showed me an ominous collection of his short films, I don't remember much about them other than feeling shocked and excited as I'd never really seen anything like them. I didn't really appreciate his brilliance at the time, it wasn't until a year later when I discovered Twin Peaks that I realised what an incredible man he is. I've since watch the entire series of Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me, The Elephant Man and just yesterday I watched Blue Velvet. It's rare that I find a director and can say that I truly love everything I've seen by them. I guess I won't fully know that until I watch Dune (which is currently 3rd on my 'want to watch' list) which I've heard is his worst film. I'm desperate to watch everything he has ever made because I am so unbelievably in love with him.
This isn't the best interview as the woman interviewing Lynch doesn't appreciate his style at all, but it talks a lot about Blue Velvet and I found it interesting anyway.
