God, what a perfect meditation on what LA means to the collective American unconscious. I love the way Lynch plays with our desire for order and pleasure. The breathtaking sex scenes with Betty/Diane and Rita captured that elusive feeling one has when one dreams of platonic sex and it just slips away. The way Lynch represents the unrepresentable, horror or beauty, is magic. I feel like he is a realist who is trying to represent the unconscious.
