David Lynch is renowned for his distinctive film style, characterized by dreamy imagery and unique vibes. His approach is so distinct that there is even a term, "Lynchian," for those who admire his work. Lynch’s films often appear as a series of random and arbitrary scenes, which has led to criticism regarding their lack of conventional narrative.
However, Lynch's response to these criticisms is particularly insightful. Lynch has a cool take on that critique. He says that real life is full of stuff that doesn't make sense, so why should movies have to explain everything? That’s pretty much his whole approach to filmmaking.
It’s kind of like what those Modernist artists were doing with their paintings. They weren’t just showing the world as it is; they were creating a whole new world inside their artwork. Lynch does the same thing with his films, which makes you think about them in a whole new way.
