Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen hired by Mel Brooks and Stuart Cornfeld to direct The Elephant Man (1980), David Lynch showed this film to producer Jonathan Sanger, who initially had optioned the script, as he still wasn't convinced that Lynch was right for the job. This convinced him otherwise, as it showed that Lynch not only could make a surreal nightmare but also an emotionally affecting film.

Featured review
This film is a must-see for anyone interested in the world of surreal cinema. Combines fascinating visual metaphor with rich, vivid animation to create a disturbing ambience that draws the viewer in, like a fish caught on a hook. The music (provided by a collective of music engineers known as "Tractor") is like a grey canopy that wraps itself over your mind as you find that time and space and your life outside of a cold, flickering living room seem to fade into this backdrop of radioactive multimedia. Make no mistake about it, Lynch is an artist of the highest calibur, and in this gripping work he uses everything in the film as a medium to transmit his imagination to the outside world.
P.S. - If you like Lynch's style, I suggest looking into the films of Alejandro Jodorowsky, Luis Bunuel & Jean Cocteau. All of them brilliant artists in their medium.
