8½

There is so much that could be said about this movie that one could spend at least 3 hours to talk about just one of its aspects. Starting from the 3 different plans on which the movie moves and the concept of the unacceptance of the way that life goes and develops, and so deciding to hide in the past and the memories just to get violently taken back to reality once again, this movie has truly shaken me to my core and has peaked my interest so much that it completely engulfed me into it like not many films do. I now certainly understand why this was one of Lynch’s favorites, since the whole movie seems to scream to the audience to try to tell apart the dream, the reality and the fantasy (kinda like the “is it future or is it past” from twin peaks makes the narrative fragmented). And if the whole psychological and thematic part wasn’t already perfect, the camera work is extremely well done, making the use of black and white as the only colors a perfect choice for the movie, while mantaining a perfect quality of the shots during the whole time. Definitely deserves a spot in my top 4, and I hope that everyone that sees this movie is able to enjoy it as much as I did.
