Lynch gives us a non-linear roller coaster ride.

Rating: Null/10 (16 October 2001)

What absorbed me most about this film, was its courage to be non-linear, non-literal...David Lynch didn't even do the proverbial dream scene...with blurry fade-outs, etc. He put us on our own...as a poet would. Truth lies not in the rationally contiguous but somewhere in among the life's images. There's marvelous spoofing in this film...the bug-eyed ingenue, the hard-nosed money-men behind the film who care nothing about its quality (caricatures)...and on and on. But there's a kind of seriousness as well in its presentation of the question: what is reality? And is anyone just what he/she seems? For those looking for a clear narrative story line with a tidy beginning, middle and end, stay home...This isn't for you. But if you enjoy the unnerving challenge of uncertainty and some good technical film-making, by all means don't miss this one.
