My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done?

"David Lynch presents a Werner Herzog film"; Herzog wrote +directed this one I've massive respect for Werner Herzog for films like "Nosferatu", "Fitzcarraldo" etc. + have read "Mein Lieber Fiend" about his years with Klaus Kinski; but this is a very, very different spin on the ball. I've watched this twice, first time I didn't quite "get it" + was vaguely disappointed; despite excellent acting from the entire cast with a great cameo by Brad Dourif ( Wise Blood ) + particularly Big Guns like Chloe Sevigny + Willem Dafoe, and the *always deliciously creepy* Udo Kier of Warhol + ( My Private Idaho ) fame
On 2nd viewing, after a weeks break, I enjoyed the film a lot more, noticing the outstanding soundtrack, which somehow I'd glossed over on my first viewing. Curiously, the film borrows the beautiful "Cucurrucucu Paloma"( Caetano Veloso ) from Pedro Almodovars "Talk to Her" but this is not on the soundtrack CD
There is a subtly "Lynchian" landscape + on the surface not a lot appears to be happening; but certain scenes just stuck in my mind; its really well done!
Just playing the soundtrack from Amazon + I expect it will be on high rotation here for a while
I'd recommend the film, I'm just not quite sure how to categorize it
Edit: it's about a murder
