David Lynch was a master of atmosphere. From the ominous ambiance in Mulholland Drive to the jazzy interiors of Blue Velvet, the late director's work serves as a consistent source of retro style inspiration.
My personal favorite work of his is Twin Peaks: a television show I watched for the first time over 10 years ago, and recently returned to after his death. The '90s murder mystery is so distinct in its visual language (Richard Hoover was the production designer for the original series) that rewatching it has felt like a hug from an old friend; the familiarity of the locations, from the Double R Diner to the Sheriff's Office, has a specific warmth to it, despite its chilling themes.
