breathtaking.

Rating: 9/10 (24 April 2002)

in the movie a young perky actress betty finally makes her dream come true and travels to l.a. to be a big star. she meets a mysterious dark beauty rita, who has amnesia and doesn't know who she is. together the girls start unlocking the mystery, but is there a mystery to solve? what is it all about? see for yourself and weep.
after seeing this movie you will see men in shadows and feel like you would be in a strange dream world chills going down your spine. this movie is something really special and i rate it one of the corner stones of modern film.
if you don't understand it, try not to solve it. just let it flow in your head.
the way lynch makes movies is all about intuition of the watcher, you make up your own truth. you could of course tell your friends what you think it's about and insist your theory is the right one, but that would be just a waste of everyone's time. your theory is right and so is your friends. and they're both also wrong.
without a doubt it's an amazing movie that makes you think. 1 out of every 10,000 movies may come close to what lynch does. in a time where you think everything has been done already he ALWAYS manages to surprise you. david lynch is truly a treasure of a director.
