A unique way of storytelling

Rating: Null/10 (22 July 2002)

It seems to me that David Lynch's idea behind this film was one about messing up with the universe, switching people around. Kind of like two parallel universes intersecting through the work of some filth-covered man-type creature who posesses a blue box of unknown powers. It reminds me of a science fiction story with two parallel universes crossing over and playing havoc with the characters.
The story is presented entirely on the surface and just presents the facts, not explaining why and how any of it is happening. There are only a few clues and key scenes to give an insight into the background that produces the events happening on screen. I'm not sure if David Lynch had definate ideas about the storyline, but this is what the story seemed to be about to me, and one that links all the clues about the box and key, the switching of identities, the dirty man and the body of Diane Selwyn in the bedroom.
Definately one to see just for the unusual viewing experience, or if you liked other David Lynch works.
