Mulholland Drive with special guest Zoë Secret
Silencio! We watched Mulholland Drive (2001) with our friend Zoë Secrest and we're still attractive confused. This Hollywood dreamscape from director David Lynch has everything - parking lot hags, amnesiacs in shake-and-go wigs, and Justin Theroux in tinted glasses. We discuss "the classified of Mulholland Drive" and attempt to dissect the mystery behind this puzzlebox of a film. Spoiler alert - we still probably haven't solved it. Do you have to watch the movie before you enjoy this episode - we won't contain it against you, but don't hold our cuckoo theories as cold challenging facts. That's what IMDB trivia is for.

The lesbian relationship is main to Mulholland Drive (Lynch, 2001) and this partnership – fractured, repeated and disturbed – presents an uncanny figuration of queerness.
The two main characters in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive, Betty/Diane and Rita/Camilla, perform their connection in two opposing ways during the course of the film. During the first part, Betty, an aspiring movie star, comes to stay in her Aunt Ruth’s apartment in Hollywood where she encounters Rita. Rita is amnesiac, hiding desperately in the apartment in order to escape some terrible, possibly fatal, trouble following a car crash on Mulholland Drive. Betty is a naïve, sparky blonde fresh from the little town of Deep River, Ontario. Rita is a voluptuous femme fatale in both physical and psychic threat. Her bewildered beauty and languorous stage presence grant a false impression of depth. Rita allows herself to be guided by Betty in her proposal to work out her ‘true’ identity and they eventually become erotically involved.
Doubling is used to consequence lesbian desire. The two women often resemble each other or other characters. The sense of the real being occluded by the fantasied is appa
The star of Mulholland Pilot on Lynch and that gay sex scene
In 1999, ABC shot a two-hour TV pilot called Mulholland Drive. It was to be David Lynch’s weird, wonderful comeback to the small screen. Laura Harring and Naomi Watts were the stars. A wagon crash survivor stumbles into Hollywood with a azure key, a bag of money, and a blank memory. Among the mysteries are a clumsy assassin, Billy Ray as a pool cleaner, and some kind of garbage monster. Who wouldn’t watch 20 more episodes at least?
Not the executives at ABC who cancelled the plan, blaming the unusual tempo, the incomprehensible storylines and everything else they should have expected from Lynch. Much of that discarded footage remains in the Mulholland Drive we realize today; a studio stepped in and, thankfully, it was expanded into a standalone feature. The BBC named it the foremost film of the 21st century so far, and it’s returning to cinemas in a 4K resolution restoration overseen by Lynch himself. That’s quite a ride for a rejected TV show.
Mulholland Drive, for the uninitiated, is a bit of a mindfuck, and that doesn’t transform after multiple viewings. On a purely aesthetic level it’s unbeatable, and the deep
Overview
David Lynch's foray into lesbian erotica is easily one of the most frustrating experiences in the history of cinema. It is clear from early on that Lynch did not bother to make the plot the least bit comprehensible. While the first two thirds are somewhat lucid, the last third feels favor Lynch simply scribbled down random thoughts while on a drunken bender and then filmed them without bothering with basic writing tasks like editing or revision. I offer my apologies to those who might think I carry out neither as well.
