You know a lot more than you think | The Japan Times Online:

A man and a woman are glimpsed, in murky black-and-white images, in a Polish hotel room, their faces mosaiced out. "You want to fuck me?" she asks. "Shut up and take off your clothes," he answers. "I'm frightened." she says. Cut to full color and a girl wrapped in a red sheet, crying, and watching TV. Enter into her television; it's a strange, twisted kind of sitcom with three human-size rabbits sitting in a queasily colored 1950s-style living room. Their conversation consists of nothing but cryptic nonsequiturs: "Who could have known?" "What time is it?" "I'm going to tell them some day." Each utterance is met with raucous canned laughter. One rabbit walks out the door on the set; he enters an ornate room where two Polish thugs are having a conversation, and then he disappears.

Huh. Intriguing. If I can find it outside Japan, I might give it a whirl.

I liked Lost Highway, Mulholland Drive and Blue Velvet to varying degrees. I was not so big on Wild At Heart, despite the Chris Isaak soundtrack. Even so, a bit of epic Lynchian WTF-ery might be just what I need lately to get out of my own head.

I was iffy on Wild at Heart, too. I'm still baffled by the ending's unreasonable closure, and am still occasionally jarred by visions of Dafoe's demise.

Haven't seen Mulholland Drive yet.

I was just mad that they ruined "Blue Spanish Sky" for me. I still can't hear that song without imagining William Dafoe whispering "Fuck me, fuck me" over the bridge. The whole movie was just a bit too wispy for it's own good.

Mulholland Drive was the first Lynch film I ever saw. I keep meaning to rewatch it. I liked it quite a bit, and even a tad better than Lost Highway, despite the fact that Lost Highway's plot made a lot more sense. Perhaps I am just a sucker for lesbians and amusing cowboy mob bosses.
