Turning technology from mumbo-jumbo into rich tasty gumbo
� I am Outraged | Main | XP Comes Through �I saw Mulholland Drive on Saturday and while my brain is still leaking out my ears and while I cannot, two days later, stop the images from trolling the depths of my psyche, I realized that this film has a number of hallmarks of Lynch. Hence, Every David Lynch Movie Has:
Dwarf in an underground area with curtains. (Can't find him in Blue Velvet.)
A twisted Roy Orbison song.
A woman singing solo for a long time while people watch and emotions play over their faces. (In Blue Velvet, it's Dean Stockwell, but close enough.)
A dead, typically decaying body shown over and over.
The ability to let you see through an insane person's eyes more precisely than you'd like.
Maniacal laughing.
An authentic character who speaks the truth in a stilted way, but is obviously trustworthy.
Clues.
A figured covered in dirt.

Very sad, that David Lynch was only *nominated* for this years "Best Director" at the Motion Pictures Academy Award... IMHO he should really have gotten the price for directing 'Mulholland Drive.'
P.S.: I had exactly the same problem for two days -- couldn't stop day-dreaming about 'Mulholland Drive.' Curred problem with watching a second time ;-)

Don't forget:
At least one SURREAL sex scene
(...although in The Elephant Man, it never quite 'goes all the way,' does it? and in Eraserhead I think it is more an ever-present allegorical mis-en-scene rather than a specific instance, oh wait and then there is the Straight Story...hmm maybe not).
Lynch also has a penchant (although I doubt they are universally present in his work) for puns.
