Genuinely sad about this. I grew up with the original Twin Peaks and subsequently Fire Walk With Me. My sister and I watched every episode as it was televised on BBC 2 from age 11-13. I was completely taken with the shows beguiling quality, both with in its dreamlike surrealism and its nightmarish landscape. From that point on I sought out everything that retained his stamp and eagerly awaited anything new.
Lynch definitely had a hand in shaping my love of film and his style has remained a mainstay in my choices to this day, not just in film but across all mediums. Thank God we got The Return in 2017.
Loved Lynch and always will. The Owls will be hooting tonight.
I'd heard that despite the emphasema he'd been in the process of shooting a new TV series. I'm not sure how far that had progressed mind you, but this was prior and after COVID.
