Lady Blue Shanghai (David Lynch, 2010)

6.5/10
Another freebie MUBI turned me on to (via Youtube in two parts, part one is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7gmisZlnyRM), David Lynch's 16-minute Dior-commissioned piece Lady Blue Shanghai. There isn't really much to it, and it's clearly more a piece of advertising than anything else (though clearly advertising done by Lynch and no one else), it has simple themes that might be a little hacky if they weren't such an identifiable part of Lynch's aesthetic. Not a revelation but a nice enough distraction, and the music is the highlight.
