Enchanting wild-goose-chase

Rating: Null/10 (11 March 2004)

This neo-noir is enchanting and hypnotic enough to keep viewers going. David Lynch creates such a surreal, dreamy, illogical, haunting, mysterious atmosphere. These words may sound like I rip them off a thesaurus, but each of these words are well fitting of the movie. The 2 lead actresses are also darn beautiful (especially when topless). Its like a series of dreams vaguely interconnected with each other, but you are unable to pinpoint how and why. There may be a fleeting glances of familiar face here or there. But that's all. And it's infuriating. It leads you on a wild goose chase, tantalising and taunting you with the chance to experience the ultimate twist of a plot, but just like a cock-teaser, it doesn't. It may be dreamy all right, but, thank you, if I ever want a dream, i go to sleep.
