Taylor B 09/16/2012 I can't see myself wanting to watch it again, but the music is really quite good. I would definitely listen to it in my car or as background music at home. See more Kenneth L 11/01/2011 Ok, so I think I've pinned it down: the more a David Lynch work is bound to the necessities of a plot and storytelling, the better it is. His weird sensibilities need to be anchored to something. At his best, Lynch can give us truly amazing stuff - Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet, and The Elephant Man come to mind. At his worst, we get pretentious, hard to watch, meaningless, self-indulgent nonsense like this. This is a recording of a live stage show Lynch created in 1990, and all you need to know about it is that it sucks. See more Davey M 05/25/2011 It's too stagebound to really work as a piece of film, and there's not enough sense of the theatrical space or continuity to work as well as it might have as a document of a live performance, but as a collection of songs by Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch performed by Julee Cruise it's beautiful. It's probably a better album than a film, but there are some striking visual and dramatic moments as well. See more Marcin W 04/14/2011 nothing really new for a Lynch's fan, the music itself is more visual than the footage. See more Hans J. E 11/28/2010 I don't know how to describe this tv-movie musical-like thing by David Lynch. See more Martin T 09/17/2010 Essentially a long-form music video for Julee Cruise, but I love Julee Cruise (at least, her work with Angelo Badalamenti) so that's fine with me. Lynch creates a dreamlike/nightmarish atmosphere in a single-stage setting. It's a little slow to get going, but comes to a fever pitch around the halfway point, goes into a wonderful sequence during "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart", a bunch of crazy shit happens and it then tapers off into a kind of slumber. Laura Dern and Nicolas Cage make a brief appearance at the beginning, perhaps playing their roles from Wild at Heart, but this is a lot more enjoyable than that irritating film.
