I subscribe to Criterion Channel and am currently watching Mulholland Drive again. I just realized that Lynch appears to subvert the notion of movement within the definition of moving pictures, and that the silence he creates often speaks volumes, leaving one with an interpretive stance of unease, of irreality. Note the silence lurking within the frames when actor Michael J. Anderson first appears on screen. (Also, that set seems very much like the one used on Twin Peaks. The use of full frame in the film is very unsettling, as if one is privy to things best left unseen. Yet, it conjures up a full range of emotions.)
