Review

A star rating of 5 out of 5.

Alan Jones

As twisted as the Los Angeles road it takes its name from, this is a typically weird and wonderful rumination on the American Dream, the Hollywood nightmare and the mysterious grey area in between from director David Lynch. Easily his most demanding work since Fire Walk with Me, Lynch's dazzling thriller reaches new heights of mesmeric fascination thanks to scintillating visuals and an offbeat emotional intensity. Although many plot strands are thrown into the suspenseful mix - betraying its original genesis as an intended follow-up TV series to Twin Peaks - the main focus is on the bizarre relationship between mysterious amnesiac Laura Elena Harring and wannabe actress Naomi Watts. Unfolding like "The Anne Heche Story" as viewed through a kinky kaleidoscope, Lynch's surrealist fantasia does go over familiar territory - trademark dwarves, camp retro pop songs, symbolic imagery - but with a heightened edge of incisive observation. With a sensational performance by Watts, it's a triple-strength masterpiece that will more than satisfy the die-hard Lynch mob and may even gain a receptive new audience for the Sultan of Strange.
