David Lynch, the legendary filmmaker, has passed away at the age of 78. Known for creating some of the most influential films from the 1980s to the present day, Lynch’s works have had a profound impact on cinema.
Among his most famous works are Blue Velvet, Twin Peaks: The Return, which he revived recently with a new title, and Mulholland Drive.

Lynch was a unique creator, known for his striking and often unsettling imagery that left a lasting impression on audiences. His influence extended both in American cinema and European cinema.
Films such as Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive were beloved by critics and audiences alike, offering an ongoing mystery that captivated viewers.
Last year, Lynch announced that he was suffering from emphysema caused by smoking. He stated that due to this, he would no longer be leaving his home and would not be able to direct anymore.
His family announced his passing via a post on his Facebook page: “The world now has a great hole where he is no longer with us. But as he would say, ‘Look at the donut, not the hole.’”
