Looking for a way to get into Lynch’s work. I know, a little late, but I feel like I’m missing out on something with all the condolences going out today. I’ve heard good things about Twin Peaks? Does it still hold up?

What about his movies? I’ve heard great things about Mulholland Drive, although I was very confused when I got halfway through.

Are there other works that are better to start with or just that people generally recommend as being good?

    jump into the deep end, watch Eraserhead. it’s very abstract and surreal, and you’ll be forced to interpret a bunch of symbolism to start making any sense of what’s going on or what you think it means. I can’t guarantee you’ll like it, but it’s a good way to get in the right mindset to enjoy his later, more narratively straightforward but still symbolically complex work.
