Mulholland Dr. (2001) asks us to reconsider the nature of character via dream logic. In a dream, someone you glimpsed at a diner can become a main character, a loved one a peripheral figure: a valuable lesson in perspective. As is the fact that a real person can assume an entirely new identity in a dream: a process, Lynch suggests, that is analogous to a performer who becomes their role or an audience member who, confronted with the film actor’s impossibly large face—their penetrating eyes, their lush red lips—enters not just another time or place, but another person.
