"Lynch's work chronicles the trouble we have with putting together the story of America, whether from the point of view of justice or art, whether we look to men or women as protagonists. Lynch was always thinking about America and his celebration of normal American life was patriotic, since it was the proper backdrop for courageous action. He often came up with stories that evoke the strengths of American character, suggesting that we need to look more closely at the ordinary, not to neglect the ugly or terrible things, but that we also need to hold on to our loves. Far from offering surrealism as a fantasy, he wanted to encourage us not to remain trapped in illusions."
David Lynch, master of surreal Americana, recently died at 78. The visionary behind Twin Peaks and Blue Velvet spent his career revealing the darkness beneath small-town innocence, challenging how America sees itself. His work was less about fantasy and more about confronting reality. Read more about the shocking realism of David Lynch from @titusfilm
