After the pleasant, heart-warming diversion that was 1999's The Straight Story, David Lynch, weaver of the alluring nightmare, unveiled his most disconcerting film yet in 2001. In a star-making performance, Naomi Watts played a young ingénue who comes to Hollywood with big dreams, and encounters... um, let's say "the stuff dreams are made of". The plot resisted explanation beyond that, but what followed was one the scariest, sexiest and dread-inducing films of the decade. A treatise on Hollywood's tendency to crush young souls? An unrestrained journey into a lurid, jealous mind? Or simply a tender, tragic love story between two women? Whatever the case, it was damn good cinema.
