An influential filmmaker, Lynch most often drew inspiration from European filmmakers such as Jean-Luc Godard and Federico Fellini.

Her big break was Fellini's arthouse film La Dolce Vita, one of the most acclaimed movies in Italian cinematic history, in 1960.

It was Fellini, she told Rose, whose attitude made her understand that one could be serious in one’s work while still enjoying life.

As well as continuing to make budget movies, he also began handling films made by distinguished foreign film-makers, including Francois Truffaut, Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini and introducing them to an American audience.

He took cues from creators “from Jim Henson to Fellini to Zeffirelli, and all these magical moments where reality, surrealism and history come together.”
