Lynch first captivated audiences in 1977 with his unsettling debut film Eraserhead, a cult classic known for its eerie atmosphere and low-budget production. Over the years, Lynch’s distinct cinematic style continued to evolve, with films like Blue Velvet (1986), a dark mystery delving into the underbelly of suburban life, and Mulholland Drive (2001), a surreal thriller that remains a touchstone of modern filmmaking.
