For Twin Peaks fans...others beware!

Rating: 8/10 (12 February 2002)

I thought that liking Blue Velvet and seeing some merit in Dune would be enough, but unfortunately not. This is a tough introduction to what (I'm told) Lynch is usually "about". At the end of the movie I was angry at wasting 2 1/4 hours of my life, but then became interested in figuring out the plot and what the many (very well done!) parts might mean. Lots of parts.
My explanation doesn't match anyone else's I've heard, which is why this made such a great movie for our monthly film group. Everyone who liked it was a big fan of Twin Peaks, so their expectations were certainly tempered.
I'll planning to see it again with a Lynch fan; perhaps become a fan myself. You're unlikely to call too many films "challenging" after seeing this one.
