David Lynch is my favorite artist. He was a writer, a director, a cinematographer, a painter, a musician, and a poet. He was an empath, a humanist, and challenged us to be the same. All of his work showcases his curiosity about the world, including the worlds inside each of us. His work is often described as surreal or dreamlike but I found his genius shone brightest in capturing the mundane. Once we were comfortable in the known, he’d change something just enough to cause discomfort (the Cowboy in “Mulholland Drive” doesn’t have eyebrows which is why so many find him off-putting). Finally, in defense of his “Dune”, the source material is so complicated and introspective that I believe no film adaptation will ever do it justice. While Lynch’s version is not the most faithful to the plot of the book, it certainly is to the overall spirit of the Duneiverse.
