Fragments of a puzzle which you can't assemble

Rating: 7/10 (20 December 2001)

Well, I haven't managed to get all the pieces of a puzzle together. And even if some fragments could be assembled easily, it was difficult to interconnect them. Actually, after having tried in vain to understand the plot, I decided to look at the movie from a somewhat different point of view. I just looked at it as a collection of short scenes (such as a guy telling a dream, Betty's audition and a triple murder). In this way I didn't bother searching the clear connections between the scenes and just enjoyed each episode separately.
Perhaps, it's the main idea of a mystery movie: to leave a spectator's questions unanswered, the mystery unrevealed. And just as a hint that tells you that it's rather a phantasmagoric dream, David Lynch offers you an unexpected ending, which is like a summary of the fun and mystery of the movie.
