Rating: Null/10 (28 April 2002)

this movie is like other movies I've seen by Lynch where life is like a soap opera. a simple idea is made more complex through symbolism. I am left trying to figure out what the meaning of certain symbols are hours later.
my only complaint about the movie is the creepy old couple. I'm not sure what they are supposed to represent but I have had nightmares about old people after working in retail. I was kinda confused about that odd scene of the old couple in a car in the beginning and then by their reappearance at the end.
so if you haven't seen it you may not want to read my interpretation of the plot. woman A doesn't know who she is (amnesia). Woman B is an innocent aspiring actress. woman A and B fall in love while trying to find woman A's identity. the identity is found in a black box. you go into the box and when you come out of the box woman A is now woman C and woman B is now woman D. woman C has an identity as an actress. woman D has an identity of a not so innocent person. woman D orders the murder of woman C because their relationship is ending. all in all, a nice girl helps someone find her identity and in the process loses her own.
