A Lynch-marathon is more than a substitute for the garbage on Christmas TV these days – good choice! Thanks for reading.

I’m inclined to agree with you! I finished Mulholland Drive for the first time and was glad to be rid of it-then I mulled it over a while and got the ‘lightbulb moment’ where it seemed to make some sort of sense. That said, each viewing is a reward itself as more and more themes and plot points are revealed!
Thanks for reading.

Thank YOU Ben! It’s a fascinating film to analyse, and it still gives me the creeps when I find myself watching it for the umpteenth time! Thanks for reading.

Thanks Hannah, I appreciate it! It took many viewings of Mulholland Drive to even begin to understand some of its themes – and I believe I’m still a way off understanding the whole film and its subplots. Mind you, I think that’s half the fun in watching! Thanks for reading.

Thank you Jamie! I think I might agree with you on that one – I’ve seen Lynch’s films out of chronological order, but Mulholland Drive is the one that really sticks with me, which I would attribute to it being *more bizarre (if that’s even applicable to Lynch!) than his other work. Thanks for reading and commenting.

If I’m honest I still hide behind my hands at the diner scene with the homeless person’s first appearance! And I think that that contrast with more typical ‘jump scares’ and unsettling, dread-laden mystery makes for a fantastic cocktail of suspense and paranoia, to a degree. Thanks for reading and commenting!

Aha there are just so, so many questions to ask of the man! The Cowboy always interested me as a type of Angel/Devil type character – and I suppose you could almost take his appearance as some kind of homage to the Westerns of old. Thanks for reading!

Thanks Matthew, it was a lot of fun! I still get chills thinking about Lynch’s neo-noir films, there’s just something so incredibly unsettling about them.
