Brilliant and horrifying film…

This caught my eye. From wikipedia:

In 2004, the film was deemed “culturally significant” by the United States Library of Congress and selected for preservation in the National Film Registry. Lynch has described his film as a “dream of dark and troubling things.”

Very nice. Oldies music, 50′s nostalgia, strange dialogue, Lynchian soundtrack music, all from Dirty Dancing.

This is one of my favorite scenes of Lynch’s masterpiece, Mulholland Drive. In the larger context of this movie, this scene to me represents the dream-like nature of the film.

In this scene, the characters experience is raw and dramatic and disturbingly strange, yet no one seems to notice, including the characters who are “dreaming” it. Everything seems to take on extreme importance but the understanding of why it was so important simply slips away as soon as its done, (i.e. once you get to the next scene) much like waiting up from an intense dream with a charged up feeling that it was entirely deep and real, but you can’t put your finger on any of the specifics.
