Waking Up

Rating: 10/10 (27 September 2013)

David Lynch is a unique artist who not only understands, but is able to convey the nature of dreams by creating a highly emotional, abstract environment.
This film made me scratch my head many times, not because I couldn't comprehend the plot, but because I was puzzled by my own response to the characters. Like a dream, it makes almost no sense in the hindsight. The roles that people play in this picture reflect the nuances of dream reality where personalities often interchange and morph, yet never appear confusing to the dreamer.
Most of Lynch's films I'd describe as raw perception - not reality, but it's appearance through the lens of subconsciousness.
