'What is it about David Lynch's cinematic bag of tricks - his shots
of shadows and flickering electricity, his sinister soundscapes and
his heartfelt scores, his dreamlike irrational stories - that
affects us so deeply? How can he present us with trees swaying in
the wind, or a character suddenly becoming another person, or more
questions than answers, and it stays with us forever? And why is it
that, when somebody else uses his tricks, it does not achieve the
same results?'The loss of David Lynch in January 2025 produced an
extraordinary outpouring of love and grief that revealed how deeply
he mattered. But the strength and size of this reaction came as a
surprise to many. In life, Lynch was a wilfully obtuse cult
filmmaker who had been unable to get a film financed for the last
two decades of his life.In death, both the man himself and his work
are unquestionably in the pantheon of all-time greats. He leaves
behind an adjective, 'Lynchian', a term used to describe work that
echoes his. And yet, only Lynch could be truly Lynchian, and those
who copy him fail to have an impact.So why does his work affect
people so deeply? Why do some find it haunting and unforgettable
while others dismiss it as meaningless? Answering that question
takes us into the strange realms of psychology, art and theology.
We will discover why ambiguity and mystery are so seductive, how
Lynch's creative and meditative practices overlapped and why a
director whose work contains so much abuse of women has such a
female-skewing fanbase. Through a personal, first-person lens,
Lynchian unpacks the mystery but refuses to solve the enigma of an
artist whose work reshaped cinema from the inside out - where story
gives way to dreams, and meaning lies not in answers, but in
experience.'A while ago I decided to read anything Higgs writes. He

Chladné londýnske ráno. Veľký kufor, ktorý vyplavila Temža.
Detektív šéfinšpektor Erika Fosterová a jej kolegyňa Mossová už
tušia, že ich vnútri čaká nepríjemné prekvapenie… Ale na to, čo
naozaj nájdu, keď sa im zhrdzavený kufor podarí po niekoľkých
márnych pokusoch otvoriť, nemôže byť pripravený nikto… Hoci to nie
je prvýkrát, keď detektív šéfinšpektor Erika Fosterová čelí
brutálnej vražde, kufor s rozrezaným telom mladého muža vyplavený
na breh Temže ju šokuje. Pred dvoma týždňami bolo navyše nájdené v
podobnom kufri telo mladej ženy. Je to len náhoda alebo sa Erika a
jej tím budú musieť opäť postaviť sériovému vrahovi? A čo ďalšie
prípady, ktoré sa stali v inom okrese a za iných okolností? Môžu sa
aj u nich nájsť nejaké spoločné znaky s prípadom tiel v kufroch?
