Thinkpieces be damned—we nonetheless do not perceive a lot in regards to the oeuvre of surrealist auteur David Lynch. He famously did not clarify his movies, leaving us all at the hours of darkness as to their true meanings.

Maybe it is extra enjoyable that Lynch’s motivations stay a thriller. I am definitely nonetheless studying new issues about him, and by no means extra so than after his loss of life at 78. The Beacon’s assortment of “Lynch’s best interviews, oddities, documentary items, brief movies, music movies, rarities, and secret mysteries” presents a chance to ruminate on, and maybe complicate, the director’s story.
