Yes I am aware what I chose as summary "line". And as you can see I understand how to use the "" to make a point. Now this movie does not make it a secret that it imitates and likens David Lynch. And while there is a certain quality here (the main actor for example, the framing, the quality of the cinematography),the overall attachment is missing.

But maybe that is what makes it great for you. Maybe you can see something in this, that many others can't. I know the phrase has a negative connotation to it, but I mean it without any ill will: good for you. Anyone who can get something out of a movie, cherish that. And while I generally don't talk about the story of a movie, it wouldn't even help in this case. It is not so much about the story, but about the journey ...

Early on I had a pretty good inkling that The Rambler (Dermot Mulroney) of our story was traveling the road to Hell and just didn't know it yet. The film is a series of nightmare visions, recurring static and distorted feedback that links a series of events in the Rambler's misadventures, and even though it seems like he's roaming half the country, he has a way of winding up in the same place and running into the same people, many times getting the crap beat out of him just because he takes things on a dare. The story dynamics turn for the worse in the latter part of the picture when a disjointed road movie turns into full on horror, and some of it is just plain disgusting, with scenes of gory mutilation and a cab driver who can't get enough of the original "Frankenstein" while harboring a penchant for necrophilia. If you're paying attention, The Rambler himself offers the best hint as to what's going on as the film reaches it's finale. If it didn't occur to you throughout the picture, the guy finally nails it when he says "I'm dead".

Lets get one thing clear, this film doesn't reach new heights in cinematic excellence, far from it but it is interesting. If you liked Eraserhead & Blue Velvet then you'll find some enjoyment in this offering, if you didn't like them then this will stink. At the very least this film will have you talking about it the following day, i've lost count of the films i've watched and instantly forgotten. Its flawed, its disjointed and often ludicrous but still offers something. Don't be too critical and it won't disappoint, expect ground breaking cinema and it will. The IMDb score is probably a touch harsh considering it isn't your run of the mill B movie. Films like this should be applauded for taking a less well trodden path.
