Enthralling film, I think

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2003)

This film makes you a slave to it's beauty and mystery. Rather than make conventional, explainable "They could have existed" characters as in "Blue Velvet" and "Lost Highway", Lynch just does away with reality here. I wish that he would have done so a long time ago (not that Blue Velvet or Lost Highway weren't enjoyable). The plot makes no sense yet you follow it. And then maybe it does make sense when you're all through. It feels like a strange dream that you've got to tell your friend about after you wake up. You can't help but be drawn to the intense love of Diane and Betty for Rita and Camilla. It's erotic and will make you flinch with joy and smile with sadness. It's so well made anyway. Lynch deserved the Best Director Award.... too bad that he lost. In the end - how did they NOT pick this up to be a TV series? I'm still happy with the way it turned out as a film. Happy enough to say 10/10. No more explaining from me, GO SEE IT!
