is that, as I anticipated the day that I opened this blog, Interstellar Overdrive and makes his first trip outside the orbit of science fiction.
To do so I chose something very challenging and, in fact, not so far away from the issues that govern the works fantastic. I'm going to talk about Lynch, and in this case, every label on every schematic, any attempt at classification - pass me the euphemism, unless it is banned - goes to fuck off.
hard, really hard to write something about this work of David Lynch , without the risk of falling into banality (filling out the review of adjectives which seem abused) or lost in the intricate aspects of narrative (perhaps trying to give one, or even worse, different interpretations of what we have seen).
In this tortuous route is even difficult to understand where he is the beginning and at the end. You can walk, as one of the many characters at random, around the ring that holds the story (more or less circular ), ad infinitum.
Lynch's films is made very clear and sometimes unsettling episodes like "The Elephant Man," "Wild at Heart" and "Straight Story" (his most intimate films) and films that would have the joy of Sigmund Freud as "Blue Velvet," "Lost Highway" and, precisely, "Mulholland Drive".
you ever fall asleep and dream about someone you have met (even if only in passing) during the day? Or dream of people you know well, but have something different in the dream from reality? Remember to dream that you thought that you remove and then re-emerge as intact or distorted? Old loves to dream shattered as they were still tangible? This is "Mulholland Drive" a film about schizophrenia (Diane looks a lot like Fred Madison " Lost Highway"), and the dream is about a schizophrenic mechanism, a deceitful game of Chinese boxes.
I think it's really useless to seek the interpretation intended as an explanation, really too many words have been written about it, the same Lynch said that the film was born from a dream, and dreams, we know, are anchored in our unconscious, other in each of us and, in my humble opinion, difficult to psychoanalyze following exact formulas and diagrams.
Some say that the first part of the film represents the dream-like quality, while the second embodies the harsh realities. Some say it is only the sad story of unrequited love. Others argue that perhaps Diane has never even got up from that couch and he wanted to see everything, but would like to argue that Noodles in Once Upon a Time in America "he had never left the opium den. And who are we to say such statements?
I tell you, if so, would seek to reduce to rational schemes film a very "surreal" and I do not think this is possible (at least I do not have the capacity).
The only thing I can say without any doubt whatsoever is that "Mulholland Drive" provokes in me, every time I see him again, a high aesthetic pleasure. That is the purpose of art, regardless of any meaning it may contain more or less implicit.
