very daring indeed

Rating: Null/10 (4 January 2002)

One way to catagorize directors, I beleive, is that there are those who make movies to please the audience, and those who make them to please themselves. Lynch made this one for himself, and it is brialliant. This isn't just brain candy for the movie viewers who like to sit and stare blankly at a screen full of explosions, fancy stunts, and a simple, predictable plot. This one makes you think while watching the movie, when you leave the movie, and when you wake up the next morning wondering if that was actually a movie you watched last night or a completely f***ed up dream. So thumbs up to those directors who can make their audience (weather the viewer liked the movie or not) leave their film in a state of shock, wonder, and confusion (as long as the latter works itself out after thinking it over for awhile).
