The article explores the impact of setting a mood on the experience of storytelling, particularly through the character of Audrey Horne from Twin Peaks. The author relates to Audrey's escapism and the ambiance crafted by David Lynch, highlighting the qualities that evoke deep emotional responses. The concept that nature is a 'magic theater' where possibilities abound resonates with the author's appreciation of Lynch's ability to convey complex emotions beyond dialogue, capturing a uniquely American blend of terror and beauty. Lynch’s portrayal is described as rich and nuanced, creating a world filled with eccentric characters that reflect the surreal quality of existence.
Like thousands of other women afflicted by delusions of grandeur, I project myself upon the character of Audrey Horne-rogue schoolgirl-seductress, prone to tumbling down rabbit holes.
Lynch's famous sensibility is conveyed without words: the terror, absurdity, wild pain and sublime beauty and distinctly American ambient psychosis.
