David Lynch made many tremendous works of art over his staggering career. His 2001 film Mulholland Drive is often cited as one of the greatest films of the 21st century. His television series, 1990’s Twin Peaks and 2017’s Twin Peaks: The Return has received similarly titanic praise.

His acceptance speech for a long deserved Honorary Oscar just a month later was also very David Lynch. Sure he wore a tux with no visible paint for the occasion, but his speech was the shortest in the history of the Governors Awards,

David Lynch was a divisive filmmaker that critics didn't always understand. Probably why his highest rated films on Rotten Tomatoes are wildly different.
