Not film but a lot of Haruki Murakami novels are really Lynchian. Especially like Hard Boiled Wonderland and the End of the World.

I read 1Q84, my first Murakamu novel, semi-recently, and I was thinking "Lynchian" the entire time. If I liked it, would I enjoy the others?

Yeah for sure. I kind of feel that 1Q84, while good, isn't one of his better novels, actually.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicles is normally regarded as one of his best and possibly has the strongest Lynch vibe going on, like exactly as defined in the DFW essay posted earlier. Like he has a unique voice and is a great author in his own rite, but he and Lynch are exploring similar ideas and so they wind up with a very similar mood.
