Lynch is back!!!

Rating: 10/10 (26 October 2001)

When I saw "Lost Highway," I feared David Lynch had lost his touch. "Straight Story" did nothing to allay my fears... even had I enjoyed that earnest, plodding slice of humdrum, it wouldn't have satisfied my craving for Lynchian weirdness. Well, he's back, in all of his red-curtained, menacing, mind-altering glory. I'm tempted to label this my favorite Lynch film. It's a pretty close second or third only to "Eraserhead" or "Blue Velvet". Bravo! Silencio!
