Series Editor: Frank Beaver, University of Michigan
From the early cinematic career of Frank Capra to the psychologically revealing films of Martin Scorsese, the books in this series offer an authoritative guide to the study of film and its trends by studying individual filmmakers and cinematic movements.

The Twayne Filmmakers Series examines the full panorama of motion picture history and art. Many studies are auteur-oriented and elucidate the work of individual directors whose ideas and cinematic styles make them authors of their films.
Lynch's films, which demonstrate his unique and highly individualistic world view, envision a world of duality--good and evil, beauty and ugliness, banality and the bizarre, humor and violence--coexisting in the same character or location. Kaleta examines each of Lynch's feature-length movies, from Eraserhead (1978) to Wild at Heart (1990), in great detail. Though technically not a film, the popular television series Twin Peaks is also examined. The author's obvious enthusiasm for Lynch occasionally gets in the way of his critical judgment. On the whole, however, he does a good job of explaining the filmmaker's dual vision and how it is exhibited in the films. He also demonstrates how innovator Lynch also uses his knowledge of movie and television history to enrich his own works, supplying references to The Wizard of Oz in Wild at Heart and film noir touches in Blue Velvet (1986) . Recommended for academic and large public libraries.
