Disturbing and sad. I can never get enough of David Lynch--the way he executes is unmatched. He portrays simple, honest concepts in such jarring, abstracted ways. I especially love the emotionality in this one (Richard White does exceptionally well!), as well as the use of color and the use of physical art to add dimension to the narrative.
This one is a gem. I sat back at the end and thought about my own relationship to family, to childhood, to trauma, but most of all, to art.
1) When I say I'm a freak this is what I mean.
2) Surrealism at its finest.
3) Delicious. Gooey. Mr. Lynch I miss you.
SO gorgeous, so playfully creepy, such a fun romp with a healthy mix of heavy topics. In an artistic medium that already impresses me, this film also manages to have uniquely fun character design, a really strong color palette, and great ambient lighting. Visually the movie is on point.
However, I wanted to like the narrative so much more than I did. I got the impression that the storyline was an adaptation of a novel long before the credits confirmed…
