Immediately after finishing this one I was even more confused than by Lost Highway, but after piecing together the story I think it’s very cool. It helps to look at the whole thing and then zoom in rather than look at one tiny thing and expect that to explain the entire movie. I see the similarities with Lost Highway a lot especially with the motif of doing something bad and having some kind of delusion to come to terms with that as well as Lynch criticizing Hollywood and the film industry. Good movie 👍👍👍

🧩I watched Eraserhead for the first time a few days ago and just watched Lost Highway. Both were great, I think I liked Lost Highway Better though. Very confusing and left me thinking a lot. I'm on my David Lynch grind, planning on starting Twin Peaks soon

I couldn't stop myself from mentioning it in my answer even though it's a pretty basic recommendation. But this movie fits the bill perfectly plus it's in my ultimate top 3.
If you enjoy dream-like pacing, unsettling atmosphere that feels very off and almost stressful, characters and events that at first don't seem to make sense yet keep you glued to the screen, then you have to watch it.
It's also beautifully shot - even if you don't like the movie you will appreciate the Silencio scene on its own. Angelo Badalamenti absolutely nailed the whole soundtrack as always.
Mulholland Drive is not a riddle so it can't be "solved". But you will think about this movie for at least next few days - connecting different points, noticing specific things. It's just like waking up from a particularly vivid and intense dream, and keeping it in the back of your head for the rest of the day.
Still can't believe David Lynch is gone

🛣I saw this recently at The Roxy with my friend Ben and it hit so hard. I really liked this one in high school but seeing it for the first time in maybe 10 years, I was kind of shocked by how great it was. To enjoy Lost Highway, you have to shut your brain off and just submit to the movie. At the end, two characters drive out to the desert in the middle of the night looking for a burning cabin they’ve seen in visions and then have sex on the sand, illuminated by the headlights of their parked car. This Mortal Coil’s version of ‘Song To The Siren’ plays. We were in the front row it was crazy.

It’s def going to be in my top 3 of the year. This whole album feels nearly perfect. It’s so beautiful and mostly dives into new territory for twigs but there’s a lot of callback to her other albums too. FKA twigs my goat.
