It's all an illusion ... Hollywood is!!

Rating: 10/10 (22 November 2004)

David Lynch doesn't make movies that are easy to understand, they might even not be understood at all by some. It's like watching a modern painting. Every time you watch it, you'll see new things in it.
This movie was the pilot of a new TV series like Twin Peaks, too bad that he never got the chance to make it. I'm sure it would have been great, but I guess Hollywood and the audience weren't ready for it yet. Or was it because he criticized Hollywood in it? For those who didn't understand the movie: It's about the people on and behind the scenes of Hollywood. It shows how nobody is who he or she seems to be, how some people's careers and lives are made and others are broken by the studio's bosses, the directors, their co-workers,... In fact it only shows how everything in Hollywood is nothing but an illusion.
David Lynch knows how to build and keep the suspense in his movies, keeping you on the edge of your seat. He uses unusual camera angles, he jumps back and forth between scenes and combines it all with good music and sounds. I can only admire him for that and I give this masterpiece a 10/10.
