I often have difficulty with Lynch's films, but this time I think there's really lots more going on that what I can figure. I get the love/sex/violence confusion part, I think, pretty standard S&M stuff presented subtly. I was fine for the beginning of the film, but once we got to the hero brought to the place of the kidnappers, I lost it. Thanks. Maybe I'm just looking for too much, and there's not really much more, just a watered-down presentation of the theme for American audiences??? I found this movie kinda creepy for reasons I'm not sure of, it's still bugging me a few days after I saw it, and maybe that's its purpose.
