EraserheadHave you seen D. Lynch's 'Eraserhead'? Probably, the most abstract movie. Lynch filmed it in 1977, but it is still continue to be not understand. Why? What's the most explainable in it?

Don't try to comprehend David Lynch's movies, you'll mess your brain beyond repair

unknown, you are a good person!! And you're a good man!.. That's all. P.S. Honestly, I've just wanted to say that I've seen every last Lynch's movie(s), that's why I'm totally 'lynched' already. Lynch films would never blow my head, because at school I've been already insaned by Nietzsche, E. Poe, N. Gogol, and others. There were times during my near 15 age, when I read all these 'Frankensteins', 'The Strange Case of Dr, Jekills and Mr. Hydes', 'Fausts', etc. Yes, most of last works aren't insane, but for me then they were like that. I also loved to watch works of surrealists like Rene Magritte or the famous Salvador Dali. It's strange tastes, isn't it? So, I don't think my abnormal mental views will become more insane seeing another lynch movie.

I saw a couple of Lynches movies and they were great, but most of them don't have some subtle message. They are sort of avant-garde. I bet when he reads the critics they write about his movies asking for clarification of the plot he probably sits in his armchair with golden lions on the handles and laughs loudly

Yeah, I've noticed it too, but I think Lynch has given us an answer on it in his 'Twin Peaks: the third season' (8 or 9, I don't remember exactly, episode). He said, that such surreal things as he films have to be interpreted as 'a dream in the dream'*. This very surrealistic idea means, I guess, much role in psychology too. Moreover, it even relates to the idea of evolution of a human seeing dreams, because of lack of horizontal position. What do I mean? Being reptiles, we've been crawling a very long period, and to stand on foot cost us a piece of great energy. Our brains need it too, just because vertical position requires many blood to lift up to our heads, etc. So, we pay it in very interesting way, by not just sleeping in general, but rule our dreams in some way. If I understand psychology in correct way, it investigates these ways with interpretations. Anyway, 'a dream in the dream' is more deep metaphor than metaphor itself; it is a root of metaphor, I guess.
That's why, I think, it's useless looking some kind of common or historical, cultural, etc, methods of compositions in Lynch's movies. Instead, we should use our very basic principles including of usage methods of allusions, metaphor, etc, but in some other way. I mean that we should find some parallels, 'mirrors', symmetry, repeats, etc, and shared information or intellectual info mixing with it.
Most of answers to such questions I've got from Umberto Eco's 'Innovation et Repetitions'.
Surely, he probably does, I agree.

He tries to be M.C. Escher of movies, but I don't think he's there.
