Am I understanding that right? It's not lowered standards in the least, but looking at different themes that he felt needed to be told in a different way then Eraserhead. Where do I even begin with that? The movie is linear and has a clear reality so that's a negative. I enjoyed it, but I thought it was really light. The problem for me is just that this film seems too insubstantial. But imo, apart from Twin Peaks, the 90s wasn't a great decade for him. I think that if any other more mainstream filmmaker made it exactly the same, I'd actually be impressed - but for me it seems like he's lowered his standards a bit.

I think Lynch deals with people's motivations to preserve "order" and the illusion of the "American Way" and demonstrates this through the grotesque rather than celebrating it. Rather like she wanted to have Sailor disposed of in the beginning, which backfires when Sailor brutally murders his attacker in the opening scenes. To add weight to my interpretation, when Dean Stanton's mission to end the relationship fails she reacts by having him disposed of as he has failed her, also. She gets upset when her scheme doesn't come off the way she wanted it to. It's because Diane Ladd's character doesn't want the association between Lula and Sailor, not because she wants him for herself, but because if he did it would represent betrayal on Sailor's part.
