Well I finished Mulholland Drive late last night and let me say that was a mind fuck. I finished Twin Peaks and needed some crazy Lynch in my life and did I get some.
The thing with Mulholland Drive is that it almost tells two different stories. I don't want to give much away but it seems to be a neo noir in the first half and a (revenge) love story in the second. I enjoyed the first half more but the more I thought about the second half, the more I understood the first. My favorite scene that stuck with me throughout the whole movie was the Club Silencio scene. My mind could not handle it. I still have to think about the movie, it definitely requires a second viewing.
I also recommend looking at David Lynch's ten tips for unlocking the movie:
- Pay particular attention in the beginning of the film: at least two clues are revealed before the credits.
- Notice the appearances of the red lampshade.
- Can you hear the title of the film that Adam Kesher is auditioning actresses for? Is it mentioned again?
- An accident is a terrible event....notice the location of the accident.
- Who gives a key, and why?
- Notice the robe, the ashtray, the coffee cup.
- What is felt, realized and gathered at the Club Silencio?
- Did talent alone help Camilla?
- Notice the occurrences surrounding the man behind Winkies.
- Where is Aunt Ruth?
