La fumée de cigarette s’étirait en fines volutes depuis le bout du mégot avant de s’enrouler en tourbillons miniatures dont la lente progression vers les hauteurs de l’atelier dessinait de petits cyclones hypnotiques, tournant au ralenti sur eux-mêmes. Leurs vrilles finissaient par se dissiper dans le silence de la pièce, semblables à des spectres réintégrant … Continue reading Les Aventures Transcendantales de David Keith Lynch (1 & 2)→| TWIN PEAKS – Unwrapping the Plastic
The sunglasses worn by David Lynch reflected the thermonuclear brightness of the sun in this late morning. The sky of a uniform blue crackled like a television screen filled with white noise. With his hands symmetrically placed on the steering wheel of his car, the wind filtering through the half-open windows making his grey mane … Continue reading The Transcendental Adventures of David Lynch (part 2)→| TWIN PEAKS – Unwrapping the Plastic
The cigarette smoke stretched in fine swirls from the end of the butt before rolling up in miniature whirlpools whose slow progression towards the heights of the studio drew small hypnotic cyclones, turning in slow motion on themselves. Their tendrils eventually dissipated in the silence of the room, like specters returning to non-being, evaporating in an inaudible … Continue reading The Transcendental Adventures of David Lynch (part 1)→| TWIN PEAKS – Unwrapping the Plastic

Malevolent forces have spread like a disease, contaminating everything in their path — a slew of murders, violence, drugs, sickness, and hatred. … Continue reading Spectral returns→| TWIN PEAKS – Unwrapping the Plastic

For the past two years, I have been driving a Renault Zoé, a small French electric car which I love. I really care about the environment and I’ve never felt the need to own a big car. Besides, I never tried to make a fashion statement with the cars I drive, or underline my masculinity … Continue reading Drive my Car→| TWIN PEAKS – Unwrapping the Plastic
“There is no place like home!” Everyone knows these famous words, uttered by Dorothy Gale to the Scarecrow in L. Frank Baum’s 1900 fantasy novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, as well as in Victor Fleming’s 1939 cinematic adaptation of the book. David Lynch’s love for this universe is evident throughout his filmography, especially in … Continue reading The Peaks of Oz→| TWIN PEAKS – Unwrapping the Plastic
