kind of a trad retrospective, but always welcome. I\’ve been up and down on TPFWWM, but as someone who mostly found Twin Peaks too quirky and twee for their taste, I have to say I prefer the movie\’s dark, twisted tone. I also think you\’ve missed Lost Highway, is it a coincidence alleged wife killer Robert Blake and Natalie Wood\’s daughter feature? The critic Slavoj Žižek\’s got a take on it that fits, and I don\’t think there\’s been a film or film maker who has taken us so deeply and unflinchingly into a state of chronic mental illness. After LH & Mulholland Dr. the movies had nowhere to go but down, with those two Lynch had pushed the psychological parameters and possibilities as far as they could go.

"the opening section with Isaak and Sutherland is a disappointment" — no, it isn\’t! And it has Harry Dean Stanton in it!!!
