The article presents David Lynch’s treatment of the themes of alienation and exclusion in his films. It shows the relation between the director’s biography and his cinematic visions. The analysis comprises the majority of Lynch’s oeuvre – from the short lm Grandmother and his feature debut Eraserhead, through ge Elephant Man and Twin Peaks to the Hollywood trilogy (Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive, Inland Empire). In each of these films the protagonists are either excluded from society or alienate themselves from the outside world. e repertoire of characters that Lynch depicts in his cinematic creations is versatile: abused children, teenage rebels, adults who are unable to form a healthy, loving relationship, incestuous rapists and psychotic murderers with split personality, to name only a few. All of them struggle with their identity and aim to run away from the crude and disappointing reality of their lives. e measures that they undertake are sometimes drastic and portrayed in detail by Lynch, which is one of the main sources of Freudian uncanny in the director’s films. Another signicant aspect that is discussed is how particular characters are excluded from society due to their physical disgurement, mental illnesses or unconventional behaviour. e conclusion discusses how Lynch creates his beautiful language of cinema.
