i watched the monsterous extended cut clocking in at 2 hours and 47 minutes but it was worth it for an exploration on love.
thats not its only theme but its its main theme.
it drives almost every motivation and action by almost every character.
it also shows this in a sexy and at times raunchy way.
it really asks the qeustion of what is love, at least thats how i see it.
i really like dennis hopper in this despite dissapearing for a good portion of the middle half.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sickly beautiful descent into the dark underside of suburban America, where innocence collides with depravity and voyeurism becomes complicity. Lynch's film twists between moments of eerie normalcy and scenes of disturbing psychological torment that linger long after viewing.

Reviews
Okay I came in with my friend not expecting this to work out the way in it did, I'm not much of a lynch fan but this is a decent movie. I think the soundtrack and the visuals carry this movie for the majority but there is something the way Laura Dem and the actress for Dorothy performs that keeps me in a trance through it all.
Hats off for lynch for making this stunning movie, I can see why it has enwrapped so many people's hearts. Anyways that was my review, I would like to rewatch in the near future now knowing the ending.
