Another Lynch masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (2 May 2002)

Lynch presents several storylines all intertwined but the clues are there to see if you are familiar with his methods from previous movies. The overall idea of the movie is a familiar one that has been examined in several movies, including one that I saw back in 1973 in junior high (I won't tell you the name of that movie because it would spoil your first time viewing of MD). Lynch makes excellent use of texture and lighting in MD and the haunting soundtrack, a trademark of his movies, just helps you along. Now I have to go watch "Twin Peaks: Firewalk With Me" again because I think that Julie Cruise singing at the Roadhouse in that movie looks very much like the blond Rita in MD. You will enjoy this movie.
