I miss Samaria, but I will manage.

I don't see Lynch's sociological aspect, or at least I don't focus on it. With Lynch, I prefer to be absolutely ignorant; I stop at the power of expression. Is it called aesthetic component? Fine, I stop there.

You speak well, maramaldos. It must be said that for a simple mechanism of contrast, the more refined Eastern cinema enchants us Westerners, unaccustomed to certain ecstatic ways of storytelling. Kim Ki Duk, in particular, is not very loved in his own country, also due to his scant compliance with the more or less defined rules that I mentioned in the review; it's no coincidence that he has expatriated. @ Puni: you know, I don't like the final scene either, can you believe it? I even find that closing remark written on the screen superfluous, but it is what it is; this is a cinema that is, in some ways, wild, full of imperfections.

Rewatching it carefully doesn't seem like a good idea; Lynch doesn't ask to be examined, but consumed without any particular analytical pretensions. Perhaps The Elephant Man can be judged with normal cinematic categories, but not Lost Highway. You just watch it, putting aside any glimmer of rationality. In the embrace in the desert, under the headlights, any supposed symbolic meaning or intricate plot disperses; there’s only what you see. Either it grabs you or it doesn’t. It grabbed me a lot, but there isn’t a single sensible argument to persuade someone with an opposing view to change their mind.

I haven't seen Time yet; I've read some mixed reviews, but I need to check it out for myself, of course. As for Old Boy, yes, it's excellent.

Crocodile is also beautiful, the debut. However, I prefer the works from the later phase, where the rawness strikes like a hammer when you least expect it, much more sparingly (the guy smashed by the golf ball in Ferro 3, the moments of madness in the solemn peace of Spring, summer...)

Absolutely right to mention photography and the ability to create true "postcards." Even in the less successful films (I think "L'arco" is one of them), the images possess an uncommon depth. Not to mention "Primavera, estate..." Kim Ki Duk's films may sometimes be soporific and self-satisfied, but they contain a superior magic.

You are right, Randolph, Eastern cinema is a godsend. One of the many observations is that there, one can still find modesty. Ferro 3 is also a film about the wonderful sensuality of modesty, or what about In the Mood for Love, etc., etc. They are bolder, and they often seem closer to the truth. Long live them all.

The Arquette in Lost Highway is one of the most unsettling females ever. Enigmatic, seductive, and a total femme fatale. I find Pullman's performance as dull as a wet fish perfect, precisely because Arquette is beside him; I hope I’ve made myself clear.
