Looking for a way to get into Lynch's work. I know, a little late, but I feel like I'm missing out on something with all the condolences going out today. I've heard good things about Twin Peaks? Does it still hold up?
What about his movies? I've heard great things about Mulholland Drive, although I was very confused when I got halfway through.
Are there other works that are better to start with or just that people generally recommend as being good?
blue velvet is intense
Most of his stuff is. Blue Velvet is still fairly grounded at narratively straightforward. It's like a normal movie mostly. It's also kind of a dry run for Twin Peaks. Wild at Heart is lighter but hardly a great intro to Lynch. Intensity is hard to avoid
You have to accept intensity if you wanna get into Lynch.
