Beloved by film and art aficionados and fans of neo-noir cinema,
Mulholland Drive is one of the most important and enigmatic films
of recent years. It occupies a central and controversial position
in the work of its director, David Lynch, who won the best director
award at the 2001 Cannes Film Festival for the movie. Mulholland
Drive in the Routledge Philosophers on Film series is the first
full philosophical appraisal of Lynch's film. Beginning with an
introduction by the editor, the volume explores the following
topics: the identity of the self and its persistence through time
the central, dual roles played by fantasy and reality throughout
the film whether Mulholland Drive is best understood
epistemologically via reason and language, or whether, as Lynch
himself argues, by one's 'inner feelings' and emotions parallels
between Mulholland Drive and Kafka's The Castle, both of which pit
their protagonists at the mercy of unseen forces Mulholland Drive
and romanticism. Additional key themes are also discussed, such as
the interpenetration of ethics, classical tragedy, and the
contrasting philosophical arguments of Plato and Nietzsche on
tragic drama. These themes make Mulholland Drive essential and
engaging reading for students of philosophy, especially aesthetics
and ethics, as well as film studies.
