Here is David Lynch talking about, among other things, Jacques Tati. He mentions how Tati died sick, broke, forgotten and without his films recieving critical or commercial acclaim. It needed time after his death for his genius to be universally praised.
Lynch's recent passing has its similarities and its differences to Tati's unfortunate fate. One of the last things David did before passing away was to evacuate his home in Los Angeles due to the wildfires while his health at the same time was severely deteriorating. On the other hand, Lynch has always received the critical and commercial acclaim that he deserves, and upon his death, he is anything but forgotten.
Needless to say, a big personal inspiration. R.I.P. to a great American artist.
"Many people are needed in order to make a film, but only one who makes, unmakes, remakes his images and sounds, returning at every second to the initial impression or sensation which brought these to birth and is incomprehensible to the other people." - Robert Bresson, "Notes sur le cinématographe"

A film about denial and meaninglessness.
Starring Evgeniya Petrova. With music by Joseph Haydn.
"In the last month of autumn, In the twilight, Of a most bitter life I entered Full of sorrows A leafless and nameless wood. A mist of milку-whiteness, Like a glass, Enveloped it from edge to edge. Along the grey branches Pure tears flowed, Such as Only trees weep on the eve Of winter’s blanching. And lo! A miracle occurred: In the dusk Blue sky gleamed forth from a cloud And, as though in June, a bright ray From days to come pierced my past. And the trees wept on the eve Of great deeds and gay abandonment Of happy storms swirling up in the azure sky, And blue tits sang a round dance, As though hands had touched a keyboard From the earth to the very highest notes." - Arseny Tarkovsky

"In the last month of autumn,
In the twilight,
Of a most bitter life
I entered
Full of sorrows
A leafless and nameless wood.
A mist of milку-whiteness,
Like a glass,
Enveloped it from edge to edge.
Along the grey branches
Pure tears flowed,
Such as
Only trees weep on the eve
Of winter’s blanching.
And lo! A miracle occurred:
In the dusk
Blue sky gleamed forth from a cloud
And, as though in June, a bright ray
From days to come pierced my past.
And the trees wept on the eve
Of great deeds and gay abandonment
Of happy storms swirling up in the azure sky,
And blue tits sang a round dance,
As though hands had touched a keyboard
From the earth to the very highest notes."
