The term, Post-Modern, is often misused or overused. In this case it is right on the mark. Lynch has created a post-modern masterpiece.This film relates to Gilles Deleuze's post-modern concept of the Rhizome. "A rhizome has no beginning or end; it is always in the middle, between things, interbeing. Where are you coming from? What are you heading for? These are totally useless questions. Making a clean slate, starting or beginning again from ground zero, seeking a beginning or a foundation - all imply a false conception of voyage and movement (a conception that is methodical, pedagogical, initiatory, symbolic...)." ('A Thousand Plateaus,' written by: Deleuze + Guattari)Lynch fabricated characters that were coming and going, rather than starting and finishing.
