The director departed after a tough year in which he battled the advancing effects of emphysema, an incurable lung disease that made it impossible for him to continue directing.
His legacy, both in film and in life, will be remembered by his unique mind, a landscape like no other where dreams and reality melded into a seamless stream of surreal, and even unsettling, beauty.
