  Crash 1996

  ★★★½ Watched 12 Mar 2025

  I'm just trying to run a small business that re-enacts celebrity car crashes, and people keep bringing their sexual death cult into it. I've lost four employees this month.

  Morvern Callar 2002

  ★★★½ Watched 28 Feb 2025

  I'm more interested in this novel from the slush pile by an unknown author that gets a massive advance. Even in the halycon days of 2002, I don't think that happened!

  Lost Highway 1997

  ★★★½ Watched 26 Oct 2024

  Much as Wild at Heart is to Fire Walk With Me, this film is a highly stylised exploration of ideas that would find more cogent form in his next film, Mulholland Dr.

  Wild at Heart considers familial and sexual trauma patchily, but FWWM fully confronts it. Likewise, Lost Highway plays with the idea of showing a person's invented fantasy life to distract from and justify their existing one. It's a hard concept to pull off, and he doesn't always do it. But Lynch perfects it with Mulholland.

  Always fascinating to watch a master at work though. Such style!
