...crash and begins scampering through the streets of Los Angeles. These two women eventually cross paths and seek out answers to the mysteries that riddle their lives. David Lynch should have won the Oscar for his evocative vision of a treacherously seductive Hollywood, where amidst the magazine-gloss sheen, two people who seek moral truths are engulfed in the process. Lynch concocts an enveloping sense of foreboding, lingering his camera even as the characters have moved well beyond the scope of the frame. The film’s emotional weight seems almost secondary to unraveling its Mobius strip plot...

...live horns, keys and drums, are hollowed-out, taken apart and re-stitched until they’re nothing more than a series of textures floating dreamily. Herren’s additions—subtle crackles, blips and melodic tweaks—give potentially evocative recordings a strikingly dull sheen, like tarnished silver. His electronic smudges obscure Puyuelo and musicians just enough to make it all a lazy game of finding the ghost in the shell...
