    Published 2024-12-01
    “…Lynch’s cinematic outings, such as the neo-noir Lost Highway (1997), the acclaimed Hollywood fantasy Mulholland Drive (2001), and the experimental nightmare Inland Empire (2006), are all set in the heart of the film industry, in Los Angeles, and reveal his most ambitious vision yet: to examine the hierarchies of images in American pop-culture, providing a space in which dreams and nightmares routinely, yet subtly, intersect. …”
