Everyone takes notice when David Lynch releases a film, and this is no exception.

What’s probably so great is that the scope is so vast and unpredictable. For the massive 180 minutes duration, the whole world stops and takes notice. It’s such an extraodinary film because the narrative is so jumbled and seemingly all over the place, but it’s not. It’s actually a very organized and mature piece.

The beauty of Lynch’s film is that they hardly ever make that much sense, with the exception of Blue Velvet. Every time you sit down to watch a David Lynch, you aren’t expecting to understand every plot line or every aspect of the film, but that doesn’t matter as much as you probably would expect it to.

The beauty lies in the acting, the writing and Lynch’s innovative and crazy camera techniques. And it’s all here in this 2006 entry. Laura Dern’s performance is perhaps the most astounding part of the picture. She probably should have got a ton of awards for it, but she didn’t. Lynch’s writing is also unique and the camera techniques are just fucking fantastic. I’m going to need to watch this over (probably not soon) to fully understand it, but at this first watch I know I like it. Insane.
