Avalon includes in its catalog the filmography of directors such as Truffaut, Jarmusch and Kaurismäki. On Lynch’ s death, the distributor pays tribute to the author of Twin Peaks (1990) with a program that includes six films, a documentary and five short films. David Lynch Universe opens: a series of film cycles to remember the director who, with his surreal and disturbing language, has become a key figure in the seventh art over the last forty years.
Since he presented his Blue Velvet to the world in 1986, Lynch has stood out internationally for the eccentricity, symbolism and mysterious aura of his films. Nine years before releasing this first masterpiece, the young man had already caught the attention of Stanley Kubrick (one of his first admirers) with Eraserhead ( 1977), to the point that the short film served as inspiration to direct The Shining (1980).
Both the disturbing Blue Velvet and A True Story (1999), his great road movie, and Mulholland Drive (2001), with which he won Best Director at the Cannes Film Festival, are now considered cult features.
