Well, but two years later I somehow still had a couple of images in my mind and they sort grew on me so I rented the movie to watch it again. Hmm. I fell asleep again. I understood nothing again. And yet... I felt I wanted to see it again, too! Unlike the first time I didn't feel bored. It made me tired, yes, that's why I fell asleep. It confused me beyond the point of comprehension, yes, so I got lost in trying to follow who is who and why. But what it left me with was a series of great shots, of great scenes that really captivated me and a mood - no, more than mood, a feeling - that went deep inside of me.
Third viewing was with a friend, an old Peaks-pal. We both fell asleep this time

Fourth and last time made all the positive feelings stronger while the negative were almost forgotten. Home alone, middle of the night, so what if I take a nap in the middle again, it happened before and the film came through anyway. I may still be able to understand this film one day. I would like to read or re-read lots of interpretations I have found (this board, too) and perhaps I can come up with my own interpretation but so far it is for me a film of moments, moments that stick in my mind as strong as any Lynch-at-his-best. Like Grace Zabriskie visiting Laura Dern. Like that awful sweating axxon n. man. Like the snowy streets. Like the crying girl in front of the television. Like Laura Dern dying which is one of the best Lynch scenes ever and one of the best pieces of acting ever.
The fifth time is approaching, I feel
