The next time somebody name drops Nietzsche alongside Lynch at a dinner party, you will be prepared to discuss the absurdity of existence and the parallels between Alvin Straight and Zarathustra until everybody walks away in disgust. Better yet, read about how Lynch’s movies intersect with logic, epistemology, Buddhism, morality and Transcendentalism. Hopefully I'll return it to the library in time for some of you to get an A in Histories of Film.
