Kimber

David Lynch brings his surreal style to the myth of the American small town with this hauntingly beautiful film. Appearance and reality often collide in the director's work, but it's never looked better than it does here. Kyle MacLachlan is appealingly bland as the college kid who finds an ear in a field (in a gorgeously creepy scene that references Bunuel and Dali), but Dennis Hopper is truly terrifying as Frank Booth, the gas-sucking sadist at the heart of the town's evil. It's more comprehensible than much of Lynch's later work, but it's still one of the strangest journeys committed to film.
