Hello,
something that Herbert said about repetition and a number of others mentioned this term in
relation to Deluze.
I am reminded of Gertrude Stein's dictum, "There is no repetition, only insistence". In
terms of lost highway this is the point.. that speech as such returns to us it begins
inside and is rendered outside only to return, Lacan calls this the 'extimate' an external
intimacy. Isn't this the structure of Mul.Dr. and Lot. Hig? As someone noted a moebius
strip, refers to its topology through a kind of insistence, it is always both inside and
outside. The relationship between phantasy and lived experience, of which phantasy is a
part is what Lynch seems to be addressing. In Lot. Hig. we don't have two diegetic spaces
rather one diegetic space that is turned inside out. This is what Lynch along with a few
others, Bunuel, Tarkovsky, Bergman see cinema as being able to offer us. The cinema as
articulation of this extimate world. Maybe only cinema can do this.
peace
