Lynch Is Divine

Rating: Null/10 (29 February 2004)

This movie is one of my favorites. Yes, it makes absolutely no sense what so ever. But that is the beauty of this movie, it is one long, but thrilling, and perplexing dream. And, unlike many other stretched out Lynch movies that repeat themselves over and over (Twin Peaks, Lost Highway, etc.), this movie can appeal to everyone. It's a psychological thriller, it's a trip, it's a surrealist film, it has lesbian action, it has beautiful images that stick in the head (ladies with blue hair in opera houses, extravagant film sets, bizarre cowboys). This is movie however can only be appreciated by someone who can remove themselves from the Hollywood format of predictable endings and rational story flow. It applies an Alice In Wonderland understanding of how things work. When you wake up from this dream, you are not sure what to do; shiver with fear, scream with confusion, contemplate, lust, or cry. Watch it!
