Summary: American director David Lynch weaves multiple narratives within multiple realities for his tale of two women seeking to unravel the mysteries of a late night car crash. Mulholland Drive drive plays off noir classic Sunset Boulevard with its tale of a murder and intrigue set within the Hollywood film industry. Analysis: “I arrive at the conclusion that Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive offer two different narrations of one and the same story: the story of love facing desire what leads to psychological border crossings. Moreover they show the uncertainty of dream and reality or fact and fiction and the uncovering of contingency. Everything has two sides. The question is not which one is real, but how they belong together.” (Brauckhoff, 2008:13) Brauckhoff, I. (2008) Indentity construction in David Lynch’s Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive .
