Review

I absolutely loved this movie. I have always loved to watch a good flick that puts my brain to the test. Maybe the film isnt suppose to make much sense but thats what I love about it. You have to try and analyze it and make your own theories about what just took place. This movie isnt for a lot of people and I mean a lot. You have to like movies like Mulholland Drive Memento The Man Who Wasnt There etc.. to even begin to like this one. Im not necessarily a big David Lynch fan but this movie rocked big time.

One of the most eery parts of the film is when (Bill Pullman) is making love to his wife (Patricia Arquette) and her face turns into the mystery man (Robert Blake). A very freaky looking individual indeed. In my eyes he represents the devil. But thats my take on it.

Another great scene is when Pete is making love to Patricia Arquette in the Desert. The lighting music camera angles emotions and everything is just one of the best pieces of cinemtography Ive ever seen in my life.

My recommendation is this If you liked Mulholland Drive Memento Pulp Fiction Fargo The Man Who Wasnt There Blue Velvet then this movie is your cup of tea. If not dont waste your time cause youll hate it more than likely. 3 12 *s out of 4 *s.
