Review: This movie inspired me tremendously after watching it in 1997 and I wanted to see it again to know whether my remembrance is still right. I recognize again the topics that impressed me: time travel, schizophreny, dream, double identity, double life. In that sense, the movie is very dense and suspensefull. There is no way in explaining the storyline as it would disturb the pleasure of watching the movie. The acting of all these actors is fine and subtle. The lights and the music enhance the mysterious atmosphere all along the movie. Lynch mastered this atmosphere!  Seventeen years ago, I remember that with my friends we came out of the movie with plenty of questions, plenty of indices, like a police inspector, but with many solutions that were all valuable and giving even more mystery to the movie. This made out of David Lnych my favourite director for a long time. In the same direction of mystery and open story, David Lynch made the movie Mullholland drive and the series Twin peaks.
