CORVERSE His family announced his death by Facebook posting, writing: “There is a great void in the world now that it is no longer with us.

CORVERSE He was known for his dreamy and superrealistic style, as well as the themes that unite his filmography, such as the degradation of the concept of America. In 2018 the word Lynchian joined the Oxford English Dictionary, with the definition of the word being as follows: “remembers or mimics the works of David Lynch. Lynch was known for confrontation of surreal or threatening elements with everyday environments, as well as for using exciting visual images to highlight a dreamy mystery quality or a threat.” He made his first short film, Six Men Getting Sick, in 1967, which followed with other short films, with the most notable being The Alphabet (1968) and The Grandmother (1970). In 1977 Lynch’s first feature film, Eraserhead, was released, which became a “calt” and was included on Sight and Sound’s list for the 250 best films of all time. In 1980 his second film, The Elephant Man, was released, a biographical film for which he received nominations for various Oscars. At the same time, he began publishing the comic strip since 1983 and for nine years The most angry dog in the world. Lynch then took charge of directing a Dune film adaptation, one of the most beloved science fiction books of all time, but according to him, the studio took advantage of him and gave him no creative control.

Nevertheless, in 1986, Leeds released Blue Velvet, which is considered one of his most elementary films, and which was named the seventy-best film of all time by Sight and Sound.
