And juxtaposing all that ink black dread he also gave us the heart soaring joy of Norma and Big Ed finally getting together to the sound of Otis Redding's 'I've Been Loving You Too Long', a perfect scene. Good god almighty, I love ya!

The bit in The Elephant Man where Merrick shows his rich patrons the photograph of his mother remains the single most emotionally devastating cinematic scene I've ever seen. There was still tons of that stuff in Twin Peaks: The Return, which really does feel like his masterpiece to me.

That sequence where he goes from Harry Dean Stanton sat on a bench reveling in nature and human warmth straight into the sickening horror of a mother holding a child's lifeless body. Fucking hell, that is all of life's beauty and dread perfectly captured in a couple of minutes.

And he did stuff like that time and time again. I was going to give Twin Peaks 3 a first rewatch this year at some point but it's gotta be now, really. Ah fuck it, the whole catalogue. Rest in dreams, ya brilliant bastard.
