David Lynch: The Art Life 2016
David Lynch never wanted to explain himself. I’m glad he never did.

The Sixth Sense 1999

The Sixth Sense knows the truth of that loss. How desperately we cling to the light and the love we’ve known, convincing ourselves that we’re the exception, the one that death will let slip. And what if we could peer beyond the veil, and find that all there is…
