The Return. It will discuss the formal and narrative decisions as forms of signification, using film and narratological analysis. This research will pay attention to the construction of the point of view and to the identification of the spectator towards these images. The classical themes on lynchean films, such as alternative and duplicate worlds and figures, sublimate in TV fiction. Moreover, these ideas are represented by reinterpreting two myths related to the Other: Orpheus and Narcissus.

Knowing David Lynch’s background as an Eagle Scout, this article explores that many of Lynch’s films and their protagonists, particularly Jeffrey Beaumont (Kyle MacLachlan) in Blue Velvet (1986), embody Eagle Scout-like heroes and serve as genre-like “Eagle Scout films.” These films and their protagonists have similarities with the film noir and western genres and their detective/cowboy heroes through their dealings with ethics, morality, and justice in sadistic worlds. In his genre-hybrid films, Lynch acts as an auteur in using recurring thematic preoccupations/stylistic tendencies, while exemplifying hostile environments offset by a central protagonist with an Eagle Scout-like set of morals.
