A director of such distinctive, overpowering vision that he has inspired his own adjective, David Lynch makes films that seem telegraphed straight from his unconscious to the screen. From his early short works—which already display the unsettling surrealist imagery he would unleash in full force in his midnight-movie classic ERASERHEAD—to the harrowing suburban nightmare TWIN PEAKS: FIRE WALK WITH ME, Lynch’s labyrinthine puzzle-boxes turn the American psyche inside out to reveal its deepest, darkest fears and desires.
