A snake leather jacket. A convertible car which crosses the highway with the accelerator full on. A head that explodes. A house that bursts into flames. Two bodies in a hurry to unite. A man singing “Love Me Tender”, mounted on the hood of a car. A woman “hotter than Georgia asphalt”. The flame of a match. And two hunted lovers, that will need to travel countless miles until they manage to find refuge and shelter their love.
Made of genuine cinema passion, David Lynch’s most frenzy work, fetishically unites romance, perversion, sex, violence, the “Wizard of Oz” fairytale and rock ‘n’ roll in a molotov cocktail which the director allows to explode on screen. But he does it with the pleasure of a playful saboteur who likes to minetrap a story of renegade love in the same way he adores to follow his innocent heroes on their frantic journey.
Flooded with adrenaline and electricity, full of scenes of genuine cinematic power and countless indulgences of the unexpected and the wonderfully eccentric, David Lynch’s film remains, three decades after its first release, what it always has been: a wild and unforgettable fairytale for grown-up kids! Palme d’ Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, in 1990. Loukas Katsikas
