Totally bizarre .... but good

Rating: 7/10 (30 September 2003)

A David Lynch film is kinda like taking acid. There are moments of ecstasy, moments of unease, and moments when you're not sure what's real and what isn't. You kinda have an intuitive feel of what's going on but you can't explain it in words. You just have to go with the flow.
The concept of movies within movies has been done before. Maurizio Nichetti made a very humorous film, "The Icicle Thief" (1989), by warping reality with this technique and reminding us how silly modern life is. Here, David Lynch presents us with a darker vision of modern Hollywood by blending different lives with one another.
I can't say for sure what it all means, but it's an interesting trip.
