273 - Mulholland Drive

Earlier this year we lost one of the greatest filmmakers to ever do it, David Lynch. From the surrealism of Lost Highway to the melancholic charm of The Straight Story, Lynch embraced a wide range of artistic sensibilities across multiple mediums. His work can charm, terrorize, tittilate, and provoke, often times through a single image. This is especially true for Mulholland Drive, perhaps the most accessible of his notoriously cryptic original works. Largely considered one of the best films ever made, Mulholland Drive is a magnum opus by every metric. Today we honor Lynch’s artistic legacy by doing our darndest to crack this deeply moving neo-noir thriller as wide open as can be (spoiler alert: it’s more about us than the film itself, as is fitting to Lynch’s modus operandi).

Fix your hearts or die! RIP David Lynch.
