After that Mullholland Drive is absolutely brilliant and has that unforgettable masterpiece diner scene: https://youtu.be/UozhOo0Dt4o?si=GedzAdMh0KIXoHz4
If you didn't know it was by Lynch you would never suspect it.
I wouldn't call it his best work, but it is Lynch at his most singular and uncompromising.
It was the last thing he made for TV/cinema and for me feels like the culmination of everything he did before it.
More so than "Eraserhead"?
I had to watch Mulholland Drive at least 5 times to get a sense of what it's even about, and I think I must have been the audience for which he made that film, if it wasn't indeed just art to make himself happy (which is the BEST kind).
Anyway, it kind of endears another person to you when you connect with their work. So this one hit kind of hard.
I lost a fellow weirdo, and he'll be missed!
There's just something in it that made me viscerally hate it, and I'm usually fond of surreal movies.
And when they dance together at the end with "Mysteries of Love" playing - wow.
