state-of-the-art sensuality Amazing the amount of comments this film has provoked. While I have nothing particularly original to say, I want my 15 seconds of fame anyway. I am on the side of those who consider it a masterpiece, though a less 'contained' one than Blue Velvet. However, I think confusion is a very understandable reaction to MD, and people who experience that don't need to feel bad about it. Many commentators here are sure they have 'figured it out,' i.e., what parts are dream, etc. I've seen it a few times (I own it, ok?) but am not completely convinced by anyone's explanations, so far, although some insights have been helpful. I celebrate Lynch's sound and vision. On one (important) level, he is showing how sensual the medium can be. Perhaps one should resist a bit the temptation to over-intellectualize it. In my opinion MD is intended to be felt too. Ideally one enjoys the experience without it being all reductively sorted out.
