"It's a strange world" - David Lynch och den postmoderna filmen
(2010) FIVK01 20092Comparative Literature
- Abstract
- The purpose of this essay is to find out how director David Lynchs films can be described as a part of the postmodern film theory. Is David Lynch a director who is style-forming for postmodern film, or has he in fact adapted his film-making to the style as it has progressed? Relying on the works of Fredric Jameson and Linda Hutcheon, I first give a brief summary of the postmodern esthetics. Then using a more in-depht analysis of three of David Lynchs films (Blue Velvet, Lost Highway and Mulholland Drive) I try to find postmodern stylistic characteristics in his productions. Finally, I discuss David Lynchs usage of postmodern esthetics throughout his films.
