Pretentious b+s

Rating: 2/10 (29 August 2014)

Just saw it. I watched the whole although I became pretty bored at times, but I kept on trucking because I wanted to try to get it to the end. OK, I made it, but with difficulty.
Sorry, but to me it is pretentious b+s.
Sure, typical David Lynch, shot-wise, the getting very close to surface or a hole e.g. in the case of the blue box. Reminds one of the cut-off-ear-shot from another movie. Dialogwise, trying to instill uncertainty in the viewer about what to expect next. The "funny" dialog directing is supposed to mean something special?
Slow... not sometimes quick-quick-slow but s l o w all the time. Thrillerwise it is a failure, because among other things employing music that is supposed to be a bit less or more haunting doesn't make up for the total lack of suspense. I couldn't care less who shot who at the Embarca.. sorry just saw Vertigo again. Me bad
What to other people might look like transitions from one real/surreal reality to another, are to me sometimes just bad cuts.
If Twin Peaks was not for you, then stay away from this movie. If you want to watch a something surreal you better watch a Bunuel movie. In some of his movies really strange things happen, but the people are real people, not the stunted characters we are shown in Mulholland Drive.
Sorry, Mr. Lynch, not interested in any clues.
