In trying to write on David Lynch, one begins to understand why words did not come easily to him. Criticism seeks to articulate the inexpressible.
Lynch’s films often escape the boundaries of the spoken; they transcend communication. Their experience is primary, with irreducible elements that resist analysis.
For Lynch, the absorption in image and the movement of the viewer’s gaze were crucial. These gestures indicated true understanding of his art's deeper meanings.
Although critics strive to demystify Lynch's work, the indelible moments in films like Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive endure because their meaning remains elusive.
