The American filmmaker indicated last August that he suffered from emphysema, a lung disease, after years of smoking.
Born in 1946 in Montana (northwest), David Lynch is considered a master of cinema who revolutionized the image and marked this art with the disturbing and haunting atmosphere of these films. He grew up in a Presbyterian (Protestant) family of five children. His father, a scientist at the Ministry of Agriculture and his mother, an English teacher, moved regularly depending on his father’s assignments. David, bad at school, is a sociable child who collects rotten pieces of wood in the forests where his father works.
