David Lynch Fetish in collaboration with Christian Louboutin. Lynchian erotic photographs highlighting Louboutin's shoes An extremely rare book, published in only 100 copies for the world (hard to find). David Lynch is an American filmmaker, photographer, musician and painter born 20 January 1946 in Missoula (Montana). He is the author of 10 feature films, released between 1977 and 2006. Nominated for an Oscar for Best Director for Elephant Man (1980), Blue Velvet (1986) and Mulholland Drive (2001), he received the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 1990 and a Golden Lion for lifetime achievement at the Venice Film Festival in 2006. His innovative and surrealist style, sometimes referred to as "Lynchian", has become recognisable to many audiences and critics. It is characterized by its dreamlike imagery and meticulous use of sound. The sometimes violent imagery of his films gives him the reputation of "upsetting, offending or mystifying" his audience. David Lynch takes a dark and hallucinatory look at the disturbing human reality that hides behind the social veneer, in small American towns (in Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks) or Los Angeles (in Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive).
