SMC Pod #169: David Lynch, an appreciation

On January 16, 2025, cinema lost one of its greatest lights. David Lynch passed away in Los Angeles at 78 years old. Like all master moviemakers, Lynch contained multitudes. The writer/director behind Eraserhead, The Elephant Man, Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks, Mulholland Drive, and many other films crafted a dreamlike, surreal, spiritual, emotional tone with intense lights and darks that was impossible to imitate. Only David Lynch could make a David Lynch movie. And David Lynch LOVED movies. He understood that cinema is a language that can go beyond words and many other art forms. Secret Movie Club founder.programmer Craig Hammill offers an appreciation on this podcast of Lynch the moviemaker and of Lynch movies.
