    Had to rewatch Mulholland Drive today, for obvious reasons.

    David lynch is special because if you are someone who can connect with his films, they feel deeply personal, like a dream you've had but forgotten, with a mystery you will never solve or fully understand. However lynch's work is loved worldwide, his films are universal yet deeply personal. Many people try to understand his films but I think that isn't the point of Lynch's films, yes they are mysteries, there's…

    Saw this last night at the Cameo in Edinburgh such a good experience, wrote about the film for my major project which got me my degree.

    I don't always like or feel comfortable reviewing a film through a personal lens. Something feels narcissistic or manipulate about it but I don't know any other way of reviewing Evangelion without doing so.
