INLAND EMPIRE

[Ya Sam]

I've got the UK two disc version (is the American one also double?) and 
there is a Guardian interview on the second disc. I like this moment when 
the interviewer goes on expostulating on the imagery of light and light 
bulbs in Lynch films, supposing that arc lights signify the connections 
between brain synapses. To which Lynch answers: 'No. I just love 
electricity'.

Wait, I've found the transcript of this interview:

MK: I'd like to show a clip from Eraserhead, but before I do, one specific 
question. One of the recurrent images in your films is of electricity 
arcing, light-bulbs crackling, two points and something arcing between them. 
And it seems to me that this somehow relates to what you think about the 
synaptic arcs in our brains, about making connections. I know you hate 
saying what things mean in your films, but am I right in thinking that 
that's at least in the right area?

DL: [pause] No. [audience laughs] Mark is a beautiful guy. It's like that, 
but I didn't think of it that way. I just love electricity. I like smoke and 
fire and electricity, these things are mesmerising. You could watch a thing 
sparking and arcing for hours, and it makes such a beautiful sound. And it's 
also a disturbance. There's something about electricity that does kind of 
what you say, but it's not necessarily the reason that it's there.
