Very sad. I watched Mulholland Drive for the first time two years ago or so in a local independent cinema and I walked home in silence for like 45 minutes. It was a pleasant experience but very odd. I should watch it again, and watch some other of his works.

Its my all-time favorite movie. Every time I rewatch, I notice something different.

Mulholland Drive is so powerful, def my favorite David film. I'd say from there, his most accessible work would be Blue Velvet (filmwise) and Twin Peaks, which ended up spawning Mulholland Drive as a sort of spinoff (through concept more than anything, none of the cast of Twin Peaks appears in MD)

Try "Lost Highway." It has a killer soundtrack, and makes absolutly no sese while at the same time being enjoyable as hell. I've watched it many times and own a copy of the screenplay and still don't understand it!

He is basically 80, it’s a miracle that people can still work at that age. I hope he can still do things he loves in a space where he’s safe even if that’s not directing. I’m sure he has plenty of other things he loves to do.
