A coming-of-age movie in noir clothing.
I loved the movie before but I think it never clicked with me as much as it did tonight.
(plus I believe Jeffrey might be a greater self-insert than Gordon Cole himself)
His voyeurism into the dark underbelly of this world (as well as the beauty!) really mirrors that of Lynch and his body of work.
If you’re my friend do be prepared, I AM going to give you all my unstructured thoughts about the subversion(?) of voyeurism in a Lynch movie you’ve never seen before, possibly while stoned. I apologise in advance.
