Voluntary film control about David Lynch:
David Lynch was invited as a talking head in the Disney+ documentary “Beatles ’64”. About the magic of the Beatles, he said things you’ve never heard about the Fab Four before. A simple and all the more true interpretation.
David Lynch said: “Their music is like fire, water and air. It’s almost a thing. It means so much. It does a thing for the intellect. “It does a thing for the emotions.”
That was Lynch: his films were considered “intellectual.” But he always spoke in clear words. He explained music in simple words. Pure magic.
David Lynch is dead
Visionary filmmaker David Lynch is dead. His family announced this on his Facebook account on Thursday (January 16).

It said on Facebook: “There is a huge void in the world now that he is no longer with us. But, as he used to say, ‘Keep your eye on the donut and not the hole’.”
Lynch, who had several artistic talents, had already started painting. He enrolled at several art schools, but it was only at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia that he discovered film. During this time he created his first short film, Six Men Getting Sick (1967). More followed, including the frightening “The Alphabet” and “The Grandmother.” Lynch often describes his time in the city as dark and the city as a formative inspiration for his work.
