Loved it-second time around

Rating: 10/10 (22 December 2015)

I didn't love this film at first viewing. I thought it was plodding, affected, and completely artificial. I don't know why I gave it a second chance recently. Maybe nothing on. This time, I found it completely engrossing, dreamy, and ethereal. Naomi Watts was beyond brilliant in one particular scene. I loved the comedy elements woven into the threatening atmosphere, the colour palate reminded me of Twin Peaks, and I cannot wait to see the new Twin Peaks program. If you like David Lynch, and I do, and you tried to watch Mulholland, and it didn't work for you the first time, you might try again and have a different experience. I think that's part of what makes David Lynch so amazingly brilliant. Every time I watch his films, I have a completely new relationship with what I've seen.
