Shownotes

Everything you need to know about David Lynch's style in five minutes! You really should watch the whole film eventually, but a five minute scene that appears fifteen minutes into David Lynch's masterpiece "Mulholland Drive" is all you really need.

That said, you really should also know about Lynch's producer, editor, and sometimes screenwriter of twenty years, Mary Sweeney!

Please, note: this scene is a little bit scary, but aren't almost all thing David Lynch?
