Saw Lynch's Wild at Heart a about a week ago. It was quite good, though not as powerful as Blue Velvet and a little overly self-satirical, it still hits most of the right notes and is a fascinating allegory of getting lost on the Yellow Brick Road. Lynch certainly is somewhere over the raindow
7/10
Also, I saw Drugstore Cowboy about a week ago. Matt Dillon's performance is so great, and Van Sants directing is top notch. It truly gives you that feeling of degration and despair and that sick feeling of being a pills addict. It reminded me a bit of Bonnie and Clyde (another American masterpiece) in which this gang of "bandits" go around having a good time robbing stores/banks, but then fall into the consequences. But Bonnie and Clyde had it easy, their lives ended with a bang, a drug addict's life ends with a slow decomposing whimper. 10/10
