THE SCHOOL OF MAYA DEREN PART NINE: DAVID LYNCH CONTINUED...

Meshes Of The Afternoon / Mulholland Drive


I know I said I drained the well with the Maya Deren/ David Lynch comparisons but I think I opened up a new realm after watching a bunch of Deren's films recently...

Make sure to check out parts; one, two & three of my exploration between Deren & Lynch for the more obvious/well-known comparisons.

Enjoy...


The interiors in their respective films are damn near identical from the movement of the camera to the actual furniture in the rooms...

Deren & Lynch's continued exploration of duality, dual identity & parallel universes...

Jeffery's voyeurism in Blue Velvet (right) kind of mimics Deren's voyeurism in Meshes Of The Afternoon (Left)

Lynch's various themes, "tricks" & editing techniques also seem to borrow from Deren's earlier work...

Mysterious villains are murdered in similar fashions in both movies...
