Overview
David Lynch’s unique film is part psychological thriller and part surreal, cryptic, neo-noir homage to LA. It follows an aspiring actress, newly arrived in the city, who befriends an amnesiac woman who has been in a car crash and has a lot of money in her purse. This is essential Lynch; as beautiful and baffling as you could imagine.
