I don't know if that's enough to make you run screaming for the Ozarks, but it's enough for me. (Actually, not a bad movie, though not a fave of mine.)
The Lynch movie I found most confusing - and depressing! - is 'Mulholland Drive' - I saw it for the first time last week. I'm baffled by it's critical success. I guess the only way to make sense of it is to see it as a dreamscape. Desire, betrayal,love, beauty are filtered through Hollywood's prism. Innocence gets corrupted. The dream morphs into nightmare. God, made me damn glad I don't live there!
You don't look to Lynch for plot. They are senseless, or, if you prefer, surreal. He disregards narrative conventions to exploit the chance a movie offers to play around with Time. He basically films his dreams.
If you're willing to go along for the ride, they at least give you something more interesting to talk about afterwards.
Unlike Tarantino.
