"The Wilderness of the Night" is another starting point for David Lynch. Lynch is known for his gorgeous, gloomy and weird style and his analysis and reconstruction of genre film elements. This film continues the usual Lynchism of the past. The edge elements such as murder, dreams, schizophrenia, roads, psychedelics, sex, etc. are refined and integrated into a surreal image, and the nightmare full of horror is transformed into a surreal scene with quirks and absurdities. But unlike the past, David Lynch created a loop structure, and the result of the film happened to be the reason for the beginning of the film. This is a self-sufficient closed structure and world. Lynch defines this film as "the black horror film of the 21st century." This movie is so weird and pioneering that even audiences accustomed to watching independent movies can't stand it, and even screamed "profound, radical, and experimental."
This unpredictable suspense thriller caused huge criticism as soon as it was released, but it is by far the most interesting David Lynch work: it seems chaotic and illogical, but once the plot is straightened out, you will find Each shot has a profound meaning, and it can be said to be rigorously structured and impeccable. It is worthy of being a classic of Lynch's movies.
"This movie is really confusing," David Lynch admitted, "but it is beautiful in a way. When I walk into the movie theater, I like to be drawn into another world and experience it. When I After I have the experience, I will want to share it with others." Then does Lynch himself know where all these gloomy, bizarre, and pathological materials come from? "No, sir, I don’t know. They come from somewhere outside of me. I don’t think this film can be understood rationally. We can only do what we can. I can only tell whether it is correct or not by perception. "The most fascinating part of the movie is precisely those parts that are somewhat abstract, sensible and need to be grasped by intuition. You know that you can't use a microphone in a movie theater to ask everyone,'Do you understand that? 'The audience can walk out of the cinema with a strange and wonderful feeling. This feeling will continue on them and open a door to the magic for them. This is the charm of the movie."
