Screen 16 of 18

The final scene shows us Jimmy walking along the same shore where he found Wanda’s body, playing his trumpet, when he sees another body washing up on shore. This time it is the body of a man. When he turns the body over, he sees that he is the dead man, dressed as he was the night of the cocktail party. Jimmy then makes the statement that he’s been dead the entire time.

So, did the same three people who killed Wanda also kill Jimmy because he was a witness to their bizarre sex scene and this movie was meant to be his final consciousness prior to dying? Or was the entire movie merely a bizarre dream Jimmy was having? Or was it a mixuture of dreams, fantasies and reality? In the end, the interpretation is up to the viewer. I can definitely see how after watching this movie, a person might compare Franco to David Lynch.

Franco’s films are full of what one reviewer referred to as “psychic sex demons”, a kinda unique and sexy “monster”, which is basically a beautiful woman who is possessed by something or someone. Franco’s films often show women withering on the floor as if they are being sexuall satisfied by an unseen spirit, all three of the Franco films I watched had this common theme.
