David Lynch by Michel Chion

The end of the book; David Lynch alphabet. different adjectives or themes, alphabetically with explanation. EG

S - Setting

discusses how the hero in all of Lynch's films inhabits a distinctive setting, one that is his/her 'bubble' and is shown as an imprisoning environment.

-- the red room as a space is really important in our film;. link between the imprisoning nature of it and the above. In addition, the space of the red room has an other worldly quality (because it is fictional/purgatory) and in all of Lynch's films there is reference to, or suggestion of, another world.

Another element that Chion discusses has strong relations to our film..W - Wind.

In the script there is a lot written about wind, whether it be blowing in the fields or through the door within Michael's purgatory. Choin notes that wind is important in Lynch's film s as it is 'a current between worlds..the wind crosses every passage way, waking energies and perhaps bringing together those who should love one another'. (p186/7)
