I watched lost highways at movie night a couple of weeks ago. It was my first Lynch movie.
I despise it when the plot twist in a movie is that the guy imagined everything. And the movie was comically slow. I'm one who enjoys the process of cobbling together self referential details to get to the broader picture. And yet the disappointment of finding out it was all a delusion ruined the entire thing.
I didn't like it, wouldn't recommend. Sooner or later I'll watch another Lynch movie, maybe I'll change my mind.
I just wanted to vent
Twin Peaks (the 1990 series) is a pretty approachable Lynch experience (and very good) but you do have to get used to the slow pacing. The story builds and doubles back and wrinkles, sometimes erratically, but the strange drama and excellent characters really are worth experiencing. If you hate it you probably aren't going to appreciate his really weird stuff either.
Or just jump straight into Eraserhead.
My first Lynch experience was Mulholland Drive. Partway through the film, the two lead women literally switch roles with no explanation. I was like what the fuck is this trash.
But then someone recommended I watch The Elephant Man, and I loved it so...
spoiler
One way to interpret 'Mulholland Drive' is that the first part is a dream of 'Betty'. The second part is the reality.
