What does it all mean? Surely all of those red curtains, strobe lights and dancing dwarfs we keep seeing in David Lynch's films must mean something, right? Well actually, they do.

Brilliant thesis on the meaning behind Lynch's films, a cogent and detailed analysis.

A short essay on some of the tropes and themes of Lynch's films and TV - fire, electricity, the colour blue, etc.
It has lines like:
'A film with several other-world characters such as Eraserhead has quite a bit of electricity appearing in it, where as [sic] a film such as Blue Velvet, which has less obvious connections to the other world, does not have nearly as much electricity.'
It takes about 90 minutes to read.
The publisher is a self-publishing house.
