If you want to understand who David Lynch is, watch Eraserhead.
Health warning: Don't watch while tripping, nor while anyone you care about is pregnant (made the mistake of doing both at same time, can confirm).

I just watched the trailer on YT. Not my thing. Probably why I don't know who he is.
Thanks though. 🫂
He was most famous for the TV series Twin Peaks, and the first movie adaption of Dune. If only the studio had given him 2 films or one long one, instead of making him condense the whole story into one standard feature film.
