The Key to Mulholland Drive

Book excerpt: David Lynch ́s cult movie "Mulholland Drive" offers us all sorts of riddles. As a real classic of the Mindfuck genre, the movie inflames passion, even 17 years after its premiere. The German specialist journalist and author Christian Hardinghaus tries to clarify the last questions in his interpretation: what really happened on Mulholland Drive? What can we learn from the key, the blue box and the monster behind "Winkie ́s"? What do the ten clues tell us which David Lynch gives the viewer? Hardinghaus decrypts the plot of the movie step by step and, in doing so, he tells us the story of Camilla and Diane, of Betty and Rita and the 'dream world Hollywood'. A book for all film enthusiasts who never got "Mulholland Drive" out of their heads. For the very old and new lovers of the movie.
