...MULHOLLAND DR. David Lynch made the first 90 min. of this sexy thriller as a TV movie. When it didn't sell, Lynch added a coda that sends his characters into the weirdest Wonderland, as if Twin Peaks were to morph into Blue Velvet. It's not all intelligible, but it's always fabulous.

Her childlike, idiosyncratic, careful enunciation recalls the children from the Sound of Music, if it had been written about a hundred years later than it was. While the coda to “Pagan Poetry,” a call-and-response between Björk and her multiplied chorus-self of “I love him/She loves him” has the audacious simplicity that is often only achieved in musicals.
