In my opinion, this is David Lynch's masterpiece. A truly mind bending story, written by Lynch, combined with a mesmerizing soundtrack, this film takes you a ride that you'll never forget.
This twisted tale follows jazz musician Fred Madison (Bill Pullman) and his wife Renee (Patricia Arquette) as they start to experience strange happenings after they attend a party where they meet a very mysterious and sinister man (Robert Blake).
After a few "break ins", Fred wakes to find his wife dead and he soon becomes convicted of her murder. Then, while in prison, Fred awakes in the body of Pete, a much younger mechanic played by Balthazar Getty. When the prison guards find Pete in Freds cell, they have no choice but to set him free. Shortly there after, Pete starts to become entangled in a web of mystery, mobsters, and the mysterious man from the party.
Pete also finds a doppelgänger of Renee, Alice, girlfriend to the aforementioned gangster, Mr. Eddy played by Robert Loggia. The strange mystery builds behind the identity of the voluptuous Alice and her relationship to Renee, and what's the story for the creepy mystery man?
This film is a blast and total mind-f*ck from beginning to end. David Lynch forces you to think and refuses to spooned you the plot to any story. Many questions will remain after the film has ended. I would recommend this to anyone over the age of 15. There is some strong sexuality and mild violence. Have fun!!!
