Sawing, dwarf, bulbs, angels, dreams. All Lynchian elements. I never was very fond of Julia Crusee's singing. Good dancing though. And mood.

Lynch and Badalamenti create yet another surreal atmosphere with their music. Although I love Cruise's voice and what it does to the atmosphere, it gets a little repetitive.

While it's a bit repetitive and gets rather boring at times, it's still hypnotizing. Hard to take your eyes off it. Brilliant use of lighting and music. Watching this might just be the best way ever to fall asleep.

I love the atmosphere and the soundtrack. Best to watch on a cloudy day with the blinds closed, maybe drifting in and out of a dozing state.

Moody & bonkers single stage collaboration between Lynch, Badalamenti & Cruise. Far from the best work of any of them but still engrosing & fun musical. Cruise has a great etherial voice but her style & the songs themselves lack variation. 50 mins is kinda stretching it for me with this story. Lynch does some utterly bizarre transitions between the songs. Plays around with a lot of ideas from his other work but the music, sound & visuals come together in a unique world just as you'd expect.

You better like Julee Cruise and the nonsensical nature of Avant-Garde movies or this will be the longest 50 minutes of your life.

I would hardly call this a movie. I would describe this as a 50 minute long music video. The cast of Wild at Heart starts off this video. Cage is breaking up with Dern. They are aptly named Heart breaker and Heart broken Woman. The rest of the movie is just this lady hanging from the fly system of a stage singing songs. There are a lot of weird industrial sounds (hence the name I guess) and a dwarf and a ten foot tall skinned deer. (Don't ask), this is not my favorite Lynch film. So weird.

Surreal, atmospheric, hypnotic, and crammed full of so many Lynchian elements it almost seems to verge on self-parody. The style of music is interesting but on reflection seems wishy-washy and inconsequential.

Essentially a long-form music video for Julee Cruise, but I love Julee Cruise (at least, her work with Angelo Badalamenti) so that's fine with me. Lynch creates a dreamlike/nightmarish atmosphere in a single-stage setting. It's a little slow to get going, but comes to a fever pitch around the halfway point, goes into a wonderful sequence during "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart", a bunch of crazy shit happens and it then tapers off into a kind of slumber.
