By choosing this poem to close Elephant Manhe had said everything about his art: transforming darkness into light, the monstrous in sublime. D ‘Eraserhead has Twin PeaksLynch will have been our passer to territories where beauty arises from darkness. He taught us to see otherwise, to seek grace in the darkest corners of the human mind. “” Nothing will ever die ”No. His dreams will continue to haunt our nights, his mysteries to nourish our imaginations. Lynch left the scene as he had lived: as an elusive magician, leaving us puzzles rather than answers, visions rather than certainties.

And as a strange coincidence, Bertrand Blier also pulled the curtain (red) a few hours before the closure of this magazine dedicated to Lynch. Blier had never hidden his admiration for the filmmaker of Blue Velvet. And in the fog of Mulholland Drive or in the gray corridors of the defense, in the flames of Twin Peaks Or on the edges of nationals, we can surely see their, joyful minds, continue to dance.
