But much more importantly it is a morality play one in which its author sets out to expose what he sees as the arrogance and indifference of Britains ruling class. Though written in 1944, it continues to fascinate critics and audiences alike, with one contemporary theatre director describing it as a a call to arms. So just how good a play is it, asks David Hughes in this short guide, and just how relevant is it to the world we live in today
After working with David on his previous work for the series, The Complete Kubrick, we knew we were on to a winner for this book. Not only is David Lynch a master of modern film-making but David Hughes is well-qualified to write this 'complete' book. The book covers all Lynch's films including Mulholland Drive, TV and other projects, as well as the unrealised ventures such as Revenge of the Jedi (later directed by Richard Marquand as Return of the Jedi). It also includes a foreword by Barry Gifford - the novelist behind Wild at Heart and co-writer with Lynch of the screenplay for Lost Highway - and excerpts from a new interview David Hughes carried out with David Lynch himself. The Complete Lynch is the only comprehensive study of this great director.
