I don`t know, but my interpretation of it is that the first 3/4 of the film is an orgasmic dream, and the last part (where everything warps round) is real life.
But I don`t know, I only saw it once and don`t plan to see it again. :/

Well its a lot clearer than b4 after reading Rik`s interpretation. I think I understand Rik`s dream sequence vs afterlife trip analysis though it`s easy to combine the two and make them as one - if u understand what I mean. In the end I suppose it`s what u the viewer are most happy with.

That review is a bit hard on the eyes Rik - ever thought of using the `enter` key?! ;) Seriously though, that is a well written and thorough interpretation.
For what it`s worth, I thought the bulk of the movie was a dream caused by the jealousy that Betty/Diane feels towards the relationship between Rita/Camille and Adam as is revealed in the final `dinner party` scene.
Trying to decode a David Lynch film is hard work and I still haven`t figured out what Eraserhead is all about (premature ejaculation, guilt about poor parenting, a nightmare he had... :/ ) Part of the beauty of Lynch`s movies is that you watch the final credits trying to make sense of what you have just seen and each movie is open to many different interpretations.

Boy Rik thats one heck of a review, all I was going to say was: Quote: A womans kills herself, in her dieing moments she relives what lead up to do her doing it, we see how she remembers it candy coated, and what really happened. Done in typical David Lynch style.
