David Lynch, who turns 69 this week, is the rare breed of filmmaker that does anything he wants in cinema, eschewing traditionally structured films for his own brand of odd aesthetics and nightmarish allegories. The next time we’ll see the Oscar-nominated auteur’s work is in the Showtime revival of Twin Peaks, but his knack for peculiarities doesn’t just end with his film and TV projects. Enjoy these instances of David Lynch being really Lynchian.
