So last night I once again entered a dreamy David Lynch world of crossed-worlds, or dreams, or narratives that bleed through each other, or however one prefers to describe it. However, while I love Mulholland Drive, this ... left me cold. I've seen rave after rave after rave of it, and it may very well be brilliant. And it surely seems more of an up/optimistic movie than Mulholland Drive, its frequent palpable dread and creepy music notwithstanding. But the thing is that it's so opaque and complex that I think I'd have to watch it at least 3 times to begin to "get" it. And at 3 hours, and given its general tone, wooden sections (yeah - I think I get why they are that way) and rather plodding pace ... I just don't want to do that. So if it contains a multitude of unlocked mysteries and is the greatest Lynch yet, hey, I won't argue. I just didn't find watching it to be a pleasant experience.
Loved the bunnies though - whatever that was about.
