Laura Palmer’s hand gestures in “Episode 29” during The Red Room and B

Laura Palmer’s hand gestures in “Episode 29” during The Red Room and Black Lodge sequences represent 90 degree “right” angles. The gestures suggest that the narrative/plot/events about to occur in the Black Lodge will take a new angle, similiar to the use of 90 degree angles in Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. A similar technique was used by David Lynch during the opening scene of Eraserhead.
