The American director’s films were known for their dreamlike, surrealist quality, with his work also including The Elephant Man (1980), Wild At Heart (1990), and Mulholland Drive (2001)
Director David Lynch, known for the surreal Twin Peaks series and films such as Eraserhead and Blue Velvet, has died aged 78.
Born in Missoula, Montana, Lynch first began a career in painting before switching to making short films during the 1960s. Major success came in the 1980s with the release of The Elephant Man, loosely based on the life of Joseph Merrick, a severely deformed man who lived in London in the late 19th century, and Blue Velvet, a neo-noir mystery thriller.
