Abstract
It is the intention of this thesis to provide a reasoned analysis of the films of David
Lynch, in order to locate Lynch as a Postmodern filmmaker.
Although other filmmakers have been seen to include elements of Postmodernism
in their work (Tim Burton is an example), few directors have attained Lynch's recent
prominence or popularity. His recent television series, Twin Peaks, has created an even larger audience for his filmic style, and the guest directors employed
were obviously encouraged to employ a similar technique, in order to create a coherent
filmic philosophy. [Abbreviated Abstract. Open document to view full version]
