club silencio

Rating: Null/10 (6 August 2003)

i have read so many interpretations of mulholland drive on the internet and elsewhere and, for the most part, identify with the theory that the first 2/3 of the movie is a dream/fantasy sequence created by in the moments before her actual death, but among the many 'loose ends' that people have pointed out, i have not yet come across an explanation for the following: there are many spanish lines incorporated throughout the dream as a result of diane hearing camilla speaking spanish at the dinner party, almost all of which take place during the club silencio scene....it is obviously never established that diane is a fluent spanish speaker, so what baffles me is that she was able to 'dream' up the lyrics to 'crying' entirely in spanish....if this scene is in fact a part of the dream sequence then it would seem that diane would be fluent in spanish to the point that she could dream up this translation....this doesn't really make sense in my mind, which signals to me that the whole dream/fantasy theory may not apply to the club silencio scene....i don't know.....any takes on this ons?
