My guess is "very very loosely to the point of nonsense", as is often the case. But it's worth noting that all returning actresses have been dressed in a way that suggests their most iconic Lynchian character. So I wonder if the clothes of Gates and Bell may offer some kind of hint.Mr. Reindeer wrote: I do wonder how loosely they're using the term "femme fatale." It undeniably applies to Arquette in her "Alice" persona, and arguably Watts as Diane (she doesn't fit the classic archetype, but she certainly ended up being fatal to Camilla!). However, I don't view any of Dern's pre-TP Lynch roles as particularly femme fatale-ish. I guess a case could be made for both Lula and Sue, but both are stretching the definition to breaking point IMO. Wondering if the presence of Gates and Bell is any sort of a hint as to what sorts of characters they'll play.
ETA love love LOVE the video interview!
