A remake of Eraserhead

Rating: Null/10 (9 March 2002)

Well, I'd view Mulholland Drive as a remake of Lynch's breakthrough, Eraserhead.
Sure enough, Mulholland Drive has been augmented with the director's later findings, such as multiple identities, innocent plain-faced characters out of their element, etc. But, structurally, it is an Eraserhead. The more or less sensical plot lives two thirds of the picture, then it just ceases to exist, giving way to hangover-like reminiscences of the past night's dreams.
What is it all about? I just don't know; would you dare try to explain logically what was going on in the last part of Eraserhead? Why Cronenberg's Crash characters didn't make love in more regular environments? Why sur artists did not choose on soc-realism instead?
All I can say is that Mulholland Drive appears to be sometimes eerie, sometimes highly poetic Lynch's reflection on love, jealousy, Cinderella stories, many other things.
