Entertaining David Lynch Movie

This film came out around the same as Twin Peaks made David Lynch a household name. I'm not a HUGE fan of his early work, but as a general rule anything by Lynch is worth seeing at least once.

It stars the brilliant Nicolas Cage as ex-convict Sailor, who is obsessively in love with Lula (Laura Dern). The two of them set out on a road trip to escape from Lula's evil mother and her croneys, and plenty of Lynch-style weirdness ensues. To top it all off there are numerous references to 'Wizard of Oz' in the story.

It's not an easy film to watch -- lots of violence, gore and unsettling scenes as you'd expect from this director, and most of them don't really add anything to the film. Nevertheless, there's some great stuff here and I'd definitely recommend it to Lynch fans.
