Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (22 April 2005)

A truly exceptional film with a narrative that surpasses any film I have ever seen. I defy anyone to come up with a definitive explanation to the series of bizarre events and twists surrounding an aspiring actress's climb and downfall in Hollywood. Even after multiple viewings, there is always a different slant an angle - was it a dream? Is there a supernatural conspiracy??? - and there is still no satisfactory answer. A fastidious film which deserves attention to every detail in every scene which are pieces in a never unravelling puzzle. This is David Lynch's film with an excellent score by Angelo Badalmednti, whilst Naoimi Watts simply excels. A genuine treat and definitely one of the greatest films ever made.
