Fred and his wife Renee receive invasive and anonymous video tapes on their door step. Fred's life takes a dark and surreal turn when he’s accused of a murder, but especially when he is mysteriously replaced by Pete, a mechanic entangled with a dangerous gangster and his mistress, who looks just like Renee. David Lynch's mindbending neo-noir, and a twisted homage to Vertigo, leads us into a nightmarish world where reality and logic are a matter of opinion. This fascinating drama has great vibes and a strong sense of foreboding, and it lingers somewhere between dream and reality like his masterpiece Mulholland Drive.
