The cause of death and location was not immediately available, but David Lynch had been public about his emphysema revealing that issue to Sight and Sound.
People are saying that he was a onetime artist who broke through in the 1970s with the surreal "Eraserhead" (it was some years before my time) and rarely failed to startle and inspire audiences and peers in the following decades. His notable releases ranged from the neo-noir Mulholland Drive to the skewed Gothic of Blue Velvet to the eclectic and eccentric Twin Peaks, and Dune can be also mentioned even it is far from a perfect movie after a book.
For the moment I am busy and sad, but I will watch the movies I can that were directed by David Lynch - it's probably the best way I can remember him.
