What is he driving us at?

Rating: Null/10 (5 June 2002)

I thought of myself as a great Lynch fan, I've seen many of his movies and even in the worst scenarios I said I loved his movies. I'm not sure anymore, and I don't think I know exactly why.
When Mulholland Dr. ended I just felt a void, which I suppose was induced by the movie. By previous reviews I thought I would find myself trying to solve a provocative puzzle, but it wasn't like that, it made me take a book and recover the lost time. I know there is a lot of symbolism, several layers to unlock, but I found no reason to do that, it was like trying to uncover a fake ridiculous circus, boring.
I donÂ´t know how Lynch develops his ideas, but I no longer care. It didn't only ruin the newest film, but make me reconsider the rest. The only two surviving film are now A Straight Story and Elephant Man. The rest can be buried in the 90s as a testimony of what's complex and symbolically absurd. For when I look back at surrealism, only the concept survives.
