Abstract

This short film, in addition to the alleged heritage of surrealism, uses hybrid comic and fantastical processes (such as the creation of a chimera, disruptive narration, nonsense dialogues focused on fatrasia), which take up the carnivalization described by Michaël Bakhtine, and more particularly La Sottie, a satirical piece in verse, of medieval origins, performed at the time of carnival. The reference to Erasmus' Praise of Madness would prove this. In this buffoon parade, David Lynch, like a Master of the Absurd, enjoys collapsing the codes of film noir narration, like his own filmography, creating a turbulent aesthetic capable of challenging the disruptive platform on which he makes his debut.
