the film as "an ambitious and difficult project", considering it potentially Lynch's strangest film. Braund believed that the difficulty in finding funding could be attributed to the film's abstract ideas and its unconventional title character. In 2004, filmmaker Jonathan Caouette expressed interest in reviving the project, though he stated that Lynch will "do it someday". Speaking of the difficulty in attracting financing for the film, Dexter Fletcher said "I should imagine that the big money heads at whatever studio it was couldn't get their brains round it at all. It's fine for the artist to read and enjoy, but for accountants it was probably a very different proposition. But that's David Lynch all over in a lot of ways". Themes present in the screenplay were revisited in Lynch's subsequent work; LA Weekly John Dentino surmised that "it's almost as if, in the face of timid or broke producers and studios, [Lynch has] been forced to pillage his own seminal work for the key obsessions that will animate his cinema".
