Interesting.
That cut with ABBA and BOB...caught me off guard.

Thank you. That really means a lot.

These are all sharp and spot on; especially enjoyed the style/register analysis which does look a key method/paradox here.

Going forward, how do you see this would be used in the new series in case you have thoughts on this. As, although I am only looking roughly at this for now, it would seem it was used differently or to differing results in the originals (constant dissonance up till the end, and seemingly into continuation) and say MD (seemingly more play-it-straight storytelling, albeit with some hints here and there - but only until a crack 2/3 of the way and then 180 turnaround). What do you make of it - and what aspects in your other works would that also relate to that can be looked at in more detail.

Much thanks in advance for the response if any!

Mentioned it on Twitter already, but I loved this? Curious - do you feel these parallels were conscious or coincidental? It seems like a lot of the most obvious Lynch influences were people whose work he claimed not even to have seen - particularly Luis Bunuel and Maya Deren. (Coincidentally I have my own video coming up in a few days about his link to the latter so from a selfish standpoint I was relieved you didn't touch on that here haha.)

It seems like the only films he has acknowledged as influences/references, in all cases explicitly within the films themselves, Sunset Blvd, Wizard of Oz, and Gilda. I often wonder to what extent he digest but forgets what he's seen, to what extent he's purposefully obfuscating (which seems a bit more dishonest than he generally seems), and to what extent the parallels are actually examples of synchronicity given Lynch's ability to tap into the collective unconscious and perhaps draw from the same creative well.

[Andreas Halskov]

I actually wanted to include Maya Deren, but my editor said that the video-essay became too long, but in answer to your question, I think that many of the references are perhaps mostly coincidental, and I am sort of playing around with it. Yet I am pretty convinced that David Lynch is audiovisual before he is ever into plot and narrative, and some of the allusions he has mentioned explicitly himself, as you know. But perhaps it is a 50/50 kind of thing, and it is just fun to find connections, though I admit that Umberto Eco would probably describe it as over-interpretation.

Sorry for getting back to you so late.

Sincerely,
Andreas

I am very curious about the new season myself, but I hope - and feel convinced - that there will be a similar kind of counterpoint going on in the new series. I hope that they will be able to avoid the nostalgic reunion party-effect and the linear wrap-up, and I hope that they make a new work of art, like "Fire Walk with Me", that resonates with the original show, but in ways that might seem strange, enigmatic and convoluted at first glance... But who I am to say. Those are just my immediate thoughts. Sorry for being so late on my reply.
