Absolutely Mindblowing !!!

Rating: 10/10 (19 August 2007)

This is one of the best movies I have seen for a long Long - LONG TIME. Definitely David Lynch's best.(Although haven't seen "The Straight Story") Its fractured time shifts bend and twist and demand the viewer to be with the actors in their own free and fractured dream consciousness. When the first cross cutting in time begins it is very reminiscent of Stanley Kubricks 2001 in the White Room, its almost a scene by scene technical duplication. There are also references to Alain Resnais "Providence" in the multiple time shifts and viewpoints. Except Lynch takes this principle and takes it much much further to the absolute edge of reality. If it had gone too far it would almost be a totally confused film but it is at the very knife edge of total confusion and a concrete multi view pointed reality, (seen in several different ways and times of course).
Naomi Watts is an equally brilliant Actor, whom I thought was parodying Laura Dern at first. However I realized she has a much greater depth and brilliance than Laura Dern.
Overall an Absolutely Mindblowing Experience! and a gift to the world of Cinema History, this film will be a cult classic for many followers of David Lynch (Myself Included)
