**POSSIBLE SPOILERS**
About the spoilers, I just mention it because there might be a chance of me unleashing some clue to understand this movie (a small possibility, but there it is after all) by complete randomness: I'll say it plain: I haven't the foggiest of what this movie it's about.
Then again, it's truly nice to watch. I don't know why people expects things to have some sense in Lynch's films, as far as they usually don't have any sense in real life either. I've watched every shot of this movie with a criminal pleasure, except maybe for the lesbian scenes, which are gross for my own taste (I was going to say "pointless" but I realized in time that it really wasn't the right word). What is for me, the whole thing is but a party for the viewer's eyes to enjoy, you get into Lynch's speedy car and you let him drive you wherever. From the blackbook-killer (who, with his complete surrealism, made me cry my tears out) to the incredibly eerie shots of the "dream" (weird-faced man) and the melodious Spanish going throughout the film, I've loved every bit of it, and I haven't got a clue of what was the story about.
Probably something about a dream; it appears clear to me that the inflexion point lies on the broken "Crying" song: in this glorious creeping moment when the singer faints/dies/whatever and the music keeps on playing a dream is over and another dream starts. To me, Diane has killed herself (or has been killed maybe?), well, anyway, she has died, and all the images are but her death dream. I don't say that because it actually makes any sense, but just because it feels like a Death dream to me. I'd bet something valuable that if you go and shoot yourself the last things in your mind would resemble a Lynch movie, just for the heck of it, and just because his sequences are so anguishing, anxious and (for good and for bad) breathtaking. A horrible, surrealistic and sarcastic hallucination? Might be. And if you don't agree with that, which you shouldn't, I'll give you a cool reason to go and watch this film: 1. Because you don't need a reason. If you do, it's not your kind of movie. 2.If you like hot girls, here you'll get a few. If you don't, you'll get really nice performances anyway (which is not as pleasing I guess, but it worths the effort anytime), but no you won't get hot guys, which is sad, but not a tragedy after all. And 3...oh well, I'm tired of giving reasons: great lights, pretty blue colours, amazing music and a long et cetera.
