A supernatural mystery thriller about a ‘cursed’ film production - with the word “mystery” in 72-point bold
he great eroto-surrealist David Lynch has gone truffling for another imaginary orifice of pleasure, with results that are fascinating, sometimes very unwholesome, and always enjoyable. His new film can best be described as a supernatural mystery thriller - with the word “mystery” in 72-point bold.
The nightmare goes on and on - for three hours, in fact. But believe me when I say that, though this is familiar Lynch stuff, it is never dull, and I was often buttock-clenchingly afraid of what was going to happen next and squeaking with anxiety. The opening scene, in which Nikki is visited by a creepy neighbour is so disturbing, I found myself gnawing at a hangnail like a deranged terrier.
Chief among these is Laura Dern’s wonderful face: equine and gaunt, sometimes, but always lovely and compelling in a way that goes quite beyond the cliche of “jolie laide”. It is either radiant or haunted, and in one terrible sequence transformed into a horror mask that is superimposed on to the male face of her tormentor.
Lynch is entranced by the straight movie-making world: he loves the stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame – something awful happens here on Dorothy Lamour’s star – the rehearsals, the shooting, the cutting and printing and checking the gate, and he loves the spectacle of actors walking contemplatively beside enormous sound-stages, for all the world as if they are in Singin’ in the Rain.
