Indescribable. It has to be seen.

    1. I'm seeing all these for the first time. I'm not sure how I'd have responded to them when they were released, but I'm to where I can appreciate them now. This one's a stunner!

  2. I've never seen it, but I'm glad you share so many links. I'm off to see what the "other" critics say. Thanks for the review, too.

    1. People seem to love it or hate it. I had to pay attention, though. This wasn't one I could watch while I washed dishes.

  3. BTW, I have a friend who still lives on Mulholland Drive. Yes, the one right outside Hollywood.

  4. I remember trying to watch this many years ago. I like some of Lynch's work (Twin Peaks, Elephant Man) but some of it is just way too much work--LOL! Confusing without sense or much logic, shall we say. I have to be in the right frame of mind and I wasn't for this one. Maybe a movie I should try and tackle again one day. :)

    1. I want to see Eraserhead and Blue Velvet. You're right about it being work. Mulholland Drive took active watching.

    2. Most of his movies take very active watching--and then you still might not know what is going on--LOL! ;)

    3. Yes, it's good to have a variety. I like the movies that require active participation, but sometimes I just want something on while I'm cooking ;)
