Many surrealists are simply people who could not make it in other fields. Be it paintings or movies - same difference.
For instance, when the shackles were taken off the Soviet art in the late eighties, everyone and his brother in law started doing "surrealist" paintings. They were far easier to paint and much easier to sell.
So any time I hear that word I cringe and run for cover. In 9,78 cases out of 10 it is just the cover for trash.
And Lynch? Bleah! Hardly a good recommendation.
