good movie

Rating: Null/10 (23 October 2004)

I saw this film four times. Yes, and I mean I paid for it, not one of those things where you wait till it gets quiet and sneak in.
I thought this was a great film in terms of characters and plot but more importantly the associations bought to mind with a subtlety that big movies lack.
Also it is not creepingly slow or sometimes hammy like "Lost Highway". I have to say that MD is by far one of the strongest and most complete films DL has directed.
It also stands to say that the film has all the character motivations and subtle plot twists of a good novel, and that the filmmakers have a fantastic sense of style. Also there is humour, pathos and suspense.
Another strong point is that it is one of the coolest films ever without trying to incorporate any youth fads or over the top set designs.
This is like A Hitchcock, except better because he's not really that good.
I recommend this film at least twice although I tend to view many of the outcomes based upon a kind of class war/tragic love affair between the two actresses in the movie. There seems to be some confusion amongst other viewers but this seems to be the most obvious and clear answer to "what is going on..."
