David Lynch

by Colin Odell & Michelle Le Blanc

Description by OLDIES.com:

Internationally renowned, David Lynch is America's premiere purveyor of the surreal, an artist whose work in cinema and television has exposed the world to his highly personalized view of society. This book examines his entire works, from the cult surrealism of his debut feature Eraserhead to his latest mystery, Inland Empire, considering the themes, motifs and stories behind his incredible films.

In Lynch's world the mundane and the fantastical collide, often with terrifying consequences. It is a place where the abnormal is normal, where the respectable becomes sinister, where innocence is lost and redemption gained at a terrible price. And there's always music in the air. From the deserts of a distant world to an ordinary backyard, at the breakneck speed of Lost Highway or the sedate determination of The Straight Story, readers will experience amateur sleuths, messiahs, giants and dwarves, chanteuses, psychopaths, cherry pies and damn coffee. David Lynch is your guide to this other world... and this is your guide to David Lynch.
