On Thursday afternoon, the world heard sad news about the death of David Lynch, one of the most important directors and screenwriters in the history of cinema. The artist passed away at the age of 78, and the information about his death was confirmed by his family, publishing a moving entry on his official Facebook profile.

“It is with deep sadness that we, his family, announce the passing of the man and the artist, David Lynch. We would appreciate some privacy at this time. There is a big hole in the world now that he is gone. But, as he would say, 'keep your eye on the donut, not the hole.' It's a beautiful day with golden sunshine and blue skies,” the release said.

David Lynch was born on January 20, 1946, in Missoula, Montana. Before beginning his film career, he studied painting at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts. It was in the visual arts that his unique style was rooted, in which the real world was intertwined with surrealism, dream and mystery.

In 1977, Lynch made his feature film debut with Eraserhead, which foreshadowed his later, unconventional works. Over the following decades, he created films and series that forever changed the face of cinematography, such as Mulholland Drive, The Elephant Man, and the cult Twin Peaks.

David Lynch was the winner of numerous awards, including two Césars and the Palme d'Or for Mulholland Drive. He first triumphed at the Cannes Festival in 1990, winning the main prize for the film Wild at Heart. Although nominated for an Oscar three times for directing and once for screenplay, he has never won this prestigious award. In 2019, he was honored with an Oscar for lifetime achievement.

His work has been appreciated not only by audiences, but also by critics. In 2007, The Guardian called him “the most important filmmaker of the current era”. Lynch has experimented with a variety of styles throughout his nearly 60-year career, always remaining true to his artistic vision.

Lynch gained immense popularity with the series Twin Peaks, which became a global phenomenon in the early 1990s. Today, it is considered a cult classic, and its influence on contemporary television is hard to overestimate.

Lynch passed away a few days before his 79th birthday, leaving behind a huge legacy that continues to inspire generations of creators. His works remind us of the importance of exploring the unknown and pushing boundaries.

The world of cinema has lost a great artist, but his words still resonate: “Keep your eye on the donut, not the hole.”
