In David Lynch Beautiful Dark, author Greg Olson explores the surreal intricacies of the director´s unique visual and visceral style not only in his full-length films but also his early forays into painting and short films, as well as his television landmark, Twin Peaks. This in-depth exploration is the first full-length work to analyze the intimate symbiosis between Lynch´s life experience and artistic expressions from the small-town child to the teenage painter to the 60-year-old Internet and digital media experimenter.
