Summary:

"David Lynch (USA, b. 1946) is perhaps the best known of all cult directors, whose Mulholland Drive marks cinema's arrival to the 21st century. His career began more than 30 years ago, with the groundbreaking, mystifying Eraserhead (1977). With Blue Velvet (1886), Wild at Heart (1990 and lost Highway (1997), Lynch breathed new life into the sensory experiences of film audiences and disrupted narrative logic to mysterious and mystifying effect"--Back cover.
