Hmmm, yes, I can see that. In his work, the promise that capitalism, especially US capitalism, has always held up clashes (more and more) with reality. This is especially apparent in Mulholland Drive, where the dream world seems to initially offer respite from reality but eventually even that gets invaded. Death is the only sanctuary from it all.
H&N argue that there is no longer an OUTSIDE but Lynch provides us with one...death. Not the type of exodus, using H&N's vocabulary, that I am prepared to take! :)
