it's far from the worst take (the worst take being "they're dreams! they're nightmares! they're not supposed to make sense!" which refuses to engage with david's films on any scale and ignores the fact that eraserhead and INLAND EMPIRE are really his only movies that lack a formal structure and semi-coherent narrative) but this book reminded me how much i hate hearing people talk about daddy lynch's movies and i really just don't buy the central premise
