how weird can you get?
by hursto β€’ 1999-05-06

"I needed to read all the other reviews here before I was game to make a comment. I'm a great fan of Lynch's Wild at Heart having seen it four times, and recently loved Lost Highway. But this one left me baffled. I'd heard of it for years, but can make little sense of it. It certainly didn't bore me, in fact I was fascinated to see where the plot led. Tried to analyse it in terms of symbolism, but decided that if I have to do that the film isn't really speaking to me. The dark broodiness is impressive, the squishiness repulsive, and Henry's hairdo is unforgettable!..."

πŸ’‘ Did You Know?

When production on the film took longer than expected, David Lynch had to sleep in the same room used as Henry's bedroom for over a year.
