In David Lynch's movies, I think there's a real lucidity on America, even California. You can always drive to the West Coast but when you get to Los Angeles, the fall off is harsh. When Wim Wenders shot America, even the crappiest hotel, you'd find the beauty of photography from Eggleston, Robert Frank, ... That's the American dream. The same references in Lynch's work, they scare you. They close down like claws. When you're European, you're drugged out by those images of America. David Lynch directs those same images but points out their dangerous, morbid character. [...] The opening credits of Twin Peaks are an emblem of America, a place we'll never see, because it doesn't even really exist, but there's poison inside. There's not even the hope of being saved.
Claire Denis on David Lynch, in Les Cahiers du Cinéma (Hors-série 2, Novembre 2023)
