verging on surrealism

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2001)

Whereas "Lost Highway" was psychoanalytical, dwelling on our most archaic fears, precise after all, "Mulholland Dr.", abbreviated as it is, possibly willing to evoke what cannot be described, angst, turns out to be surrealistic and thus may explain why and how there is a bridge between the discoveries of Sigmund Freud (subconsciousness and dreams) and the art of Dali and Bunuel (collage and role playing). It's hard to figure, though, whether that drift is decadence or not.
