A new perspective of Lynch

Rating: 10/10 (19 October 2003)

I must say, I was never a huge a Lynch fan before. I was always curious watching his films but it was merely because people had told me they were spectacular and brilliant. I had watched Blue Velvet before. Probably his most famous work, but I just didn't get how it was.... "amazing". I found it a bit cheesy actually. So, here I was having my doubts about this man, and one day I remembered I had a DivX (shhh, told tell the feds) of Mulholland Drive and I think I only put it on to test the DivX player on my Xbox. 5 minutes in, I was already keen on watching it all. It sort of grips you in from the start. So I let it run on untill the end, and then I was totally amazed. I had loved this. BUT (there's always one of those). It does require a decent amount of concentration, so I didn't fully get everything the first time around. I searched on the internet to confirm my thoughts of everything and I was right about most things. The week after, I watched it again. This time knowing what to pay close attention to. I was just astonished. You realize how much depth and emotion that is the foundation of this masterpiece. I rarely use that word and I'm highly cynical of everyday type of film, but this is really just mind blowing. I give this 10 out of 10.
For those who realized. I did not mention a thing that happens in this film. That was intentional... for if I told you, it was spoil allot more than you think.
Happy watching.
