Unruly, raw, uninhibited, wickedly funny, and uncompromisingly honest in both its depictions of violence and love, it unspools like a demented romantic comedy, a darkly imaginative, pedal to the metal road movie and a contemporary, unflinching western, a nightmare and a wonderful dream, all at once. The great’s, late’s, Lynch’s 5th film won the Palm D’ Or for Best Film at the 1990 Cannes Film Festival, although it was his most controversial and divisive cinematic dream. Yet 35 years after that first wild and weird ride it may well be reconsidered as his most underappreciated, ageless, ever timely one, and the most direct line to his unique mind and worldview.
