Good Lynch, but no Eraserhead

Rating: 6/10 (7 July 2003)

This one may be the closest to Eraserhead of all Lynch's work. It's strange, wonderful, weird, wild, sexy, funny, violent, and non-linear.

And no, I don't mean to imply there was anything sexy in Eraserhead, but there is a sexual undertone to all Lynch films, including The Elephant Man (though I don't recall such an undertone in Dune or The Straight Story ...). In this one, Twin Peaks and of course Blue Velvet it is front and center, an indelible part of the "story," such as it is, as a whole.
For those seeking a truly Lynchian experience, this one's hard to beat -- but I'd generally recommend it to his fans only.
