The TVI Take
David Lynch's dreamlike neo-noir about Hollywood and identity. Among the most formally radical commercial films ever made.
Cognitive engagement is exceptional — the film rewards and resists interpretation simultaneously. Educational about the Hollywood system and the psychology of desire. Naomi Watts's performance is remarkable.
