For some reason the opening shot of the static in Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me gives me an intense sense of foreboding, much more so than the rest of the movie and definitely more so than the television opening.
I totally agree with the sense of foreboding that is rapidly established in FIRE WALK WITH ME. Much to Lynch's credit he maintains that sensation throughout. It has the feel of a true horror film. Not in the generic sense, but in a sense of undiluted dread and apprehension. The same can be said for ERASERHEAD.
Beautiful stuff! I particularly like Eraserhead and Lost Highway.
ReplyDeleteCheers James...I kept in mind your suggestion and Lynch was well worth doing. I'd nominate either DUNE or BLUE VELVET I think.
ReplyDeleteAnother great post!

Thanks for the kind words Jayme!
