Lynch's best movie is his least known and least aknowledged. Farnsworth is brilliant, more than brilliant, so touching! The pacing is wonderfully slow. The puctures are gorgeous! This is the best road movie ever made!

David Lynch's mest normale og rare film EVER. Man skal være til neddæmpede dramaer for at se den, tror jeg, men så er den også god.
