Review of Mulholland Drive (2001) by Aldo M — 03 Mar 2015

This is a movie that deserves - and probably needs - a second sight.

At first, for some reason, I perceived it more comic than dramatico (or whatever David Lyinch wanted to mean, even if any real meaning is in here).

Actually, comic situations are many, for example the idiotic dreamer, scared literally to death by a child nightmare monster, is more comic than tracic, the cowboy is quite exilarant, the bumbling professional killer, and more.

As David Lynch is a transcendental meditation practitioner, I set myself in a meditation mood, before trying the second view. And, yes, something quite different came. IT is not necessary to understand, and probably, it is better to not try to understand. As with meditation, any attempt to follow a rational thinking is distracting.

David Lyinch needs to be perceived, not understood. Loose your toughts free, let your own imagination accept the impressions this movie can give to you - everybody his own impressions, and enjoy.

However, I keep thinking that, in writing and directing his kind of movies, Mr. Lynch has a lot of fun, and for sure a lot more when he reads what critics and other people see in them, and probably he spends some time loughing on the oddest interpretations.
